Highlights

Tether and Titan Fund invest in Saber Money.
Saber reports sixfold growth in payment volumes.
Funding targets Asian and Gulf payment markets.

The investment amount was not disclosed. According to a FinanceWire announcement, Saber plans to use the capital to obtain additional local licenses, establish banking relationships, and strengthen its payment infrastructure in markets where it already operates.

Tether investment supports regional expansion

Saber provides cross-border payment services to financial institutions, fintech companies, and businesses. Its infrastructure uses stablecoins to facilitate international transfers while connecting customers to local financial systems.

The company currently holds licenses, registrations, and authorizations across Canada, the European Union, India, and Australia. Its wider group also operates Mudrex, an Indian cryptocurrency exchange.

Saber reported that its payment volumes have increased more than sixfold over the past nine months. It says it has processed billions of dollars across more than 40 countries, with over 90% of payments completed in less than one minute.

The new funding will support further expansion in Asia-Pacific and Gulf markets. Saber intends to develop local banking connections and regulatory coverage rather than relying exclusively on existing international payment channels.

Saber targets business payments and liquidity management

Beyond its current services, Saber plans to expand into business-to-business payments, including supplier transactions, treasury operations, and international working-capital transfers.

These activities can require businesses to maintain liquidity across several countries, creating costs and delays when funds move through multiple intermediaries.

Stablecoins offer an alternative settlement mechanism, although companies still need banking access, regulatory approvals, and reliable conversion between digital assets and local currencies.

For Tether, the investment extends its involvement in payment infrastructure beyond issuing stablecoins. Saber could provide an additional route for stablecoin liquidity to reach businesses operating across emerging-market corridors.

Emerging-market payment demand drives investment

Asia-Pacific and the Gulf are significant markets for international remittances and commercial transfers. Saber cited estimates that Asia accounts for roughly 35% of global payment flows, while South Asia and East Asia-Pacific collectively receive more than $1 trillion annually.

The company also pointed to approximately 188 billion dirhams in remittances sent from the United Arab Emirates in 2025.

Those figures illustrate the potential scale of demand, but Saber has not disclosed its funding valuation or profitability. Its expansion will depend on securing local approvals, maintaining banking partnerships, and converting rapid transaction growth into a sustainable payments business.

As we previously reported, Tether expands USDT and Bitcoin infrastructure across Africa.
