TL;DR
- Decta will use USDC through OpenPayd to settle funds internationally, aiming to improve treasury speed, liquidity management and resilience without changing customer-facing payments.
- OpenPayd will convert Decta’s funds into USDC through regulated infrastructure and over-the-counter capabilities, supporting international operational settlements across the payments company’s entities.
- The integration extends Decta’s earlier stablecoin interest and shows how digital assets can function inside treasury operations rather than appearing directly in retail payment products.
Decta is bringing USDC into its internal treasury operations through OpenPayd, using the stablecoin to settle company funds internationally rather than introducing it into customer-facing payment flows. Under the arrangement, Decta will move its own funds into OpenPayd’s regulated infrastructure, where they can be converted into USDC through over-the-counter capabilities for operational settlement. The change is significant: stablecoins are being used behind the scenes as treasury infrastructure rather than as a retail payment product. For Decta, the goal is faster transfers between entities, more efficient liquidity management and resilience across international operations.

Stablecoins move deeper into corporate treasury operations
Decta UK CEO Scott Dawson said OpenPayd’s infrastructure should help the company improve speed and resilience while maintaining the controls and regulatory discipline that underpin its operations. The payments platform, founded in London in 2015, provides payment processing, acquiring, card issuing, banking and other financial infrastructure to businesses. It operates across 32 countries and serves hundreds of companies. The USDC integration therefore targets a corporate problem: moving liquidity across borders without redesigning the customer experience. Rather than asking clients to interact with stablecoins directly, Decta is testing how tokenized dollars can simplify back-office settlement between its own entities.
The partnership also highlights OpenPayd’s role connecting traditional money and digital assets. Founded in London in 2018, the company provides financial infrastructure spanning fiat and crypto services and received authorization under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework in June. That authorization enables crypto services across the European Economic Area, including fiat-to-stablecoin on-ramps and off-ramps. Regulated conversion infrastructure is what makes Decta’s treasury experiment possible without turning stablecoins into a front-end product. OpenPayd also counts Kraken, eToro, OKX and B2C2 among its clients, reinforcing its position across institutional and digital-asset markets.
Decta’s interest in stablecoins predates this treasury integration. In August 2024, Decta Limited and France-based Next Generation said they were exploring a potential euro-pegged stablecoin that Decta could issue under MiCA, subject to regulatory approval. The USDC initiative takes a different route, using an established stablecoin for proprietary settlement instead of creating a new customer-facing asset. The broader signal is that stablecoins are moving deeper into payments companies as operational tools for liquidity and treasury management. For Decta, the immediate focus remains internal settlement, but the model illustrates how regulated stablecoin rails can sit quietly underneath conventional payments infrastructure.
