Eightcap grows on stablecoins

A fintech broker evolving into a full-scale infrastructure provider

Founded in 2015 in Melbourne, Eightcap began as a CFD brokerage but has since transformed into a high-tier liquidity, technology, and infrastructure provider for both B2B and B2C markets. The company’s Embedded division offers a full-stack trading layer—licensing, liquidity, pricing, risk management, compliance, and settlement—integrated through a single API.

This model allows crypto exchanges, neobanks and fintech apps to launch native multi-asset derivatives trading without building their own regulatory and technical frameworks. Eightcap Embedded now powers platforms including:

- Bitazza Global, one of ASEAN’s largest crypto exchanges

- Swyftx, Australia’s highest-rated crypto trading platform with 1.5 million users

Additional embedded partners are set to launch in the coming months, potentially placing Eightcap in front of more than 6 million new traders by the end of 2026, according to Murphy.

Stablecoins become a core component of Eightcap’s payment strategy

Eightcap emphasizes that payments, especially in emerging markets, are increasingly dominated by crypto and stablecoins such as USDT. In regions like LATAM, the Philippines and Indonesia, up to 40% of deposits now arrive via stablecoins due to lower costs, faster settlement and reduced exposure to volatile local currencies.

Eightcap adopted crypto payments as early as 2019. Today, 10–20% of its total global deposits are crypto-funded, a share expected to grow significantly as Embedded partnerships expand.

The firm’s long-standing partnership with Orbital—a globally regulated crypto payments provider—underpins these flows. Orbital's SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications match Eightcap’s own compliance standards, ensuring high-security settlement channels for both B2C traders and B2B treasury operations.

A growing global ecosystem bridging TradFi and crypto

Eightcap sees embedded trading and stablecoin-based treasury flows as central to its future strategy. The company plans to make USDT the default settlement currency across its partner ecosystem, supporting both end-user deposits and institutional transfers among exchanges, brokers and liquidity providers.

Murphy says the next major trend is clear: stablecoin payments are on track to surpass traditional banking rails in the trading sector. Combined with faster blockchains like TRON and BSC, Eightcap expects onboarding friction to drop further, improving activation, retention and overall trader engagement.

As Eightcap scales its infrastructure and strengthens its regulatory footprint, the firm positions itself at the intersection of global derivatives trading, crypto payments and next-generation financial technology—an ecosystem that continues to evolve rapidly into 2026.

Earlier, we reported that Patrick Murphy, Eightcap’s Managing Director for the UK and EU, emphasized the key role of Tether in international trade during the TOKEN2049 conference.
