Orbi is a Mexican fintech building crypto infrastructure for everyday use. The platform lets people in Mexico save, spend, and transact in digital dollar stablecoins, all under a regulatory-first model in compliance with Mexican law.

Three products sit at the core: a direct peso-to-stablecoin on-ramp, the OrbiCard (a Mastercard-linked card that turns a USDG balance into spending power), and Orbi Boost, a product that lets users earn rewards on their digital dollar holdings. Around these sit Orbi Gift, OrbiPay, and a marketplace for paying everyday services with stablecoins.

The platform serves a massive, underserved market. 

More than 90 million Mexicans have no practical way to save or receive dollars. For most of them, holding dollars has meant clearing the barriers of traditional banking: the right institution, the right paperwork, the right income level.

Many also receive money from abroad through channels that are slow and expensive. Orbi's users don't need to be crypto-native. They simply want their money to hold its value in dollars and to be useful in daily life.

Why Orbi Joined Global Dollar Network

Orbi joined Global Dollar Network for two reasons.

The first is regulation. As a regulatory-first company, Orbi needed a stablecoin with a verifiable compliance structure. USDG is issued under the supervision of the Monetary Authority of Singapore and in the EU under Finland's Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) in compliance with MiCA. Reserves are backed 1:1 by US dollar deposits and short-term US Treasuries, held in segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts, and independently attested on a monthly basis. For Orbi, that kind of regulatory oversight matters.

The second is rewards. Being a GDN member means that Orbi earns rewards on USDG, which it then can route however it needs.

GDN membership has also helped beyond the product. When Orbi talks to potential partners, being part of the network points to a transparent, regulated foundation, which is useful for an early-stage company. It gives those conversations a clearer starting point.

How Orbi is Using USDG

Every Orbi product runs on USDG. The user experience starts with pesos: a user buys USDG directly with Mexican pesos through a bank transfer. No peso wallet to fund first, no intermediary. One step, and pesos become digital dollars.

That same USDG balance then powers everything else Orbi offers.

OrbiCard

The OrbiCard is a Mastercard-linked card that turns a USDG balance into everyday spending. Users can pay at any merchant that accepts Mastercard, in Mexico or internationally, using their digital dollar balance.

Coming soon is a new version of the card with Orbi’s processing partner Galileo (soon to be SoFi Tech Solutions), designed to expand where users can spend and make the experience feel as natural as any other card in their wallet.

Orbi Boost

Orbi Boost is the platform's earn product, built directly on USDG. Users place their digital dollars into Boost to earn rewards on their balance.

Since joining Global Dollar Network, Orbi's users have allocated over $1 million into USDG-based rewards through Boost. For an early-stage company, that level of trust from users putting real savings into a digital dollar product is a strong signal of product-market fit.

Gift Cards, Payments, and Services

Orbi also makes USDG useful for everyday transactions. Orbi Gift lets users send stablecoin gift cards to friends and family. OrbiPay handles payments. A built-in marketplace lets users pay for everyday services with their USDG balance.

The result is a complete loop: buy digital dollars, earn on them, spend them, send them, and convert back to pesos, all within a single platform.

Making Digital Dollars Ordinary in Mexico

Orbi treats USDG as the base layer for an entire financial experience, including savings, spending, rewards, and payments. All denominated in digital dollars and accessible to people who have historically been shut out of dollar-based finance.

Everything Orbi has built so far has been organic, with no paid acquisition. That growth pattern signals that Mexicans want a simple, trustworthy way to hold, spend, and earn digital dollars.

Looking ahead, Orbi plans to launch individual accounts that let users receive stablecoins directly via wire and ACH transfers, turning the slow and costly process of receiving money from abroad into something direct and immediate. Each new capability builds on the same foundation, and each addition makes the digital dollar more useful in daily life.

Step by step, Orbi is working toward a Mexico where digital dollars are just part of how people save and spend.
