ARLINGTON, Va., July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OwlTing Group (NASDAQ: OWLS) (“OwlTing” or the “Company”), the operating brand of OBOOK Holdings Inc., a global fintech company building regulated payment infrastructure, today reported rapid growth on OwlPay Harbor, its digital currency-based platform for cross-border enterprise payments.1 Processed volume on OwlPay Harbor grew more than fivefold quarter over quarter in Q2 2026 and reached a new monthly high in July, with volume in the first three weeks of the month already exceeding June's full-month total.2
This growth builds on a substantial base. Across its full platform, spanning both fiat and digital currency payments, OwlPay has surpassed US$600 million in cumulative processed payment volume, as of June 30, 2026.3
OwlPay Harbor lets a business in one country pay a supplier in another without slow, costly bank transfers. The payer sends funds in US dollars or digital currencies, and the recipient is paid in their own local currency. OwlPay earns a fee on every payment that moves through the platform, so the business grows directly with payment volume. That volume has risen in every month since the platform began scaling in early 2026, and the number of enterprise clients reached 67 as of June 30, 2026.4
“Dollar-pegged digital currencies are moving from speculation toward infrastructure,” said Darren Wang, Founder and CEO at OwlTing Group. “Businesses are using them to pay suppliers across borders, in the currency the supplier actually uses, in corridors where traditional banking has long been slow and expensive. The hardest part is the last mile, which means getting money into the destination reliably and within the rules, and that is where we have focused.”
The businesses using OwlPay Harbor are concentrated in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, where access to US dollars can be limited. Asia is a particular area of strength. In one growing corridor, importers in markets such as the U.S. pay manufacturers and wholesalers in China and Hong Kong for physical goods, with suppliers receiing local currency at the Asian end.5
That strength reflects the payment routes OwlPay has built into Asia's major trade destinations. As OwlPay Harbor continues to grow, OwlTing expects Mainland China, India, and Japan to become increasingly important contributors to its volume in the coming quarters.
OwlTing's U.S. coverage spans 42 states, along with a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration in Poland and an Electronic Payment Service Operator (Bank API license) in Japan, providing regulated payment infrastructure for moving funds across borders.6 With regulated infrastructure spanning fiat payments and digital currency settlement, OwlPay aims to give enterprises a single platform for moving money into markets that are otherwise difficult to reach.
