Orbital, a multi-licensed provider of stablecoin and traditional payment solutions, announces the integration of The Open Network (TON) blockchain into its Crypto Payment Gateway, enabling merchants to expand into emerging markets.

TON is a high-performance layer-1 blockchain designed for fast, low-cost transactions. Its deep integration with Telegram has fueled rapid adoption, particularly in emerging markets such as Turkey, Brazil and Indonesia.

"At Orbital, we continuously listen to our clients while shaping the future of global payments. Our mission is to make payments more accessible and secure so businesses can focus on growth. By integrating TON Blockchain for stablecoin payments, we're reinforcing our commitment to building a powerful, global payments platform—one that unifies stablecoin speed with traditional finance to move money smarter."– said Chris Mason, CEO of Orbital.

Orbital's Crypto Payment Gateway allows businesses to accept crypto payments across six currencies, including two major stablecoins, on five blockchains. Merchants can choose from several options to accept crypto payments, including Embedded Payments Pages, a WooCommerce Plugin, or fully custom solutions using the Orbital API.

Once payments are accepted, they can be used within Orbital's all-in-one payment platform, which also allows businesses to receive assets in major stablecoins, 11 traditional currencies, and 60+ exotic currencies, via SWIFT, Faster Payments, CHAPS, and Fedwire payment systems. Businesses can benefit from global accounts in both stablecoins and traditional currencies, exchange assets, initiate payouts, and handle tailored requests via the OTC desk, creating a smarter way to move money globally and scale efficiently.

Why Supporting TON Blockchain for Stablecoin Payments Matters

• Growing adoption – TON now has 2.7 million holders of the most widely used stablecoin on the network, with a total supply of $1.43 billion (Tonscan.org, Feb 2025).
• Lower transaction costs – Stablecoin payments on TON are more cost-effective compared to Ethereum and TRON (Gasfeesnow.com).
• Engaging with Telegram's 950M+ user base unlocks significant distribution opportunities.

While stablecoins offer significant efficiencies, they carry risks related to issuer solvency, reserve adequacy, and evolving regulatory frameworks. Businesses should assess these factors when considering stablecoin adoption.
