The story

Originally a blockchain services and B2B travel/e-commerce platform company, OwlTing pivoted toward becoming a global fintech and stablecoin payment infrastructure provider under its OwlPay brand. The company shifted from hospitality/e-commerce SaaS roots to cross-border B2B payments powered by Nium, then deepened into USDC/stablecoin rails via Circle and Visa Direct. It NASDAQ-listed in 2025-2026 under OBOOK Holdings Inc. (ticker OWLS) and is now positioning OwlPay as a remittance and stablecoin infrastructure platform targeting both B2B and consumer cross-border money movement globally.
