[July 16, 2026] -PhotonPay, the next-gen global financial operating system, today announced the opening of its São Paulo office, marking a pivotal expansion in Latin America following established hubs in Hong Kong and Dubai. Addressing regional payment frictions, PhotonPay integrates local Pix clearing, real-time FX, and AI-driven compliance into a unified OS. A core pillar of this expansion is the company’s global multi-asset wallet, which seamlessly bridges traditional fiat with regulated stablecoin infrastructure, significantly accelerating liquidity velocity for global businesses. Looking ahead, PhotonPay is set to set a new standard for connectivity across Latin America, delivering a seamless, compliant, and future-proof financial engine that empowers businesses to scale globally with ease.

HONG KONG, July 6, 2026 — Next-generation financial operating system PhotonPay has introduced PhotonPass, a native account-to-account (A2A) transfer capability engineered to accelerate liquidity velocity across global commerce networks. PhotonPass allows businesses to execute instant internal transfers across 19+ fiat currencies alongside top-tier stablecoins like USDT and USDC within the PhotonPay network. By moving transactions off legacy correspondent banking rails, the feature delivers same-second finality while reducing intermediary fees, settlement queues, and unnecessary FX exposure. Every transfer features real-time tracking and automated verification backed by PhotonPay’s AI-driven risk engine. The strategic significance of PhotonPass extends beyond isolated transaction speed; it serves as the architectural anchor for PhotonPay’s broader "Financial Operating System." By bridging the gaps between Global Checkout, multi-currency Custody Wallets, and automated FX modules, PhotonPass transforms fragmented financial touchpoints into a single, programmable capital flow. This enables enterprises to orchestrate global treasury movements with the same speed and composability as the software driving their front-end operations. "The competitive landscape of global commerce is no longer defined by strategy alone — it is defined by the infrastructure available to execute it. PhotonPass closes a critical loop in the PhotonPay operating system, and brings us one step closer to the platform we set out to build: financial infrastructure that keeps pace with the speed of modern commerce, across every market, without exception." ——Lewison Chen, Founder and CEO of PhotonPay.PhotonPass is available now to all PhotonPay users globally.

Focusing on the next-generation global payment operating system driven by stablecoins, PhotonPay today officially released the "2026 Global Game Operation White Paper: From Traffic Growth to Revenue Realization." The report reveals a significant pain point in the industry that is severely eroding the profits of global game publishers: despite the top 100 mobile games worldwide capturing 57% (approximately $46.6 billion) of the mobile market revenue, the extreme fragmentation of backend payment channels is causing a substantial loss of transactions globally, leaving countless overseas game developers in the awkward position of "having revenue but unable to cash out."To address this pain point, PhotonPay has launched a multi-route aggregated payment network that can automatically convert players' local fiat currency payments into compliant on-chain stablecoins at the backend. This solution achieves second-level clearing and real-time settlement in over 200 countries and regions worldwide without altering the players' native payment experience.It is reported that PhotonPay is a stablecoin-driven global financial infrastructure operating system. Designed for modern enterprises and global platforms, PhotonPay empowers businesses to achieve seamless fund collection, exchange, and settlement between fiat currency and stablecoins through a single, compliance-first interface. The service network of PhotonPay covers over 200 countries and regions worldwide and holds relevant financial licenses in core global markets, aiming to reshape the efficiency boundaries of global payroll and global payments in the digital asset era.

The company remains focused on building financial infrastructure that provides global enterprises with the tools for borderless operation, expansion, and competition.

According to PaymentsJournal, stablecoin payment infrastructure provider PhotonPay announced a comprehensive upgrade to its payment capabilities, officially moving towards the new paradigm of Agentic Payments. At the core of this transformation is the shift in finance from "directive" to "intent-centric," enabling AI agents to autonomously plan and execute complex financial pathways.It is reported that PhotonPay has divided its system into three main modules: global network layer, core execution layer, and intelligent decision-making layer. AI agents can automatically complete the entire process of procurement triggers, payment path optimization, dynamic exchange rate optimization, and compliance review based on preset goals, achieving machine-to-machine (M2M) cross-border capital flow, covering over 200 countries and regions, and supporting real-time processing of financial decisions.In terms of market prospects, McKinsey predicts that by 2030, the global Agentic Commerce driven by AI agents will reach a scale of $3 trillion to $5 trillion, which also provides important market endorsement for PhotonPay's strategic layout.

AI-driven digital finance and payment infrastructure platform PhotonPay has completed a Series B financing of tens of millions of dollars, led by IDG Capital, with participation from Hillhouse Ventures (GL Ventures), Enlight Capital, Lightspeed Faction, and Shoplazza.
