StraitsX unveils institutional-grade infrastructure for fiat-stablecoin settlement
0
By providing each client with a unique, named virtual account underpinned by institutional-grade compliance, DVA/+ simplifies reconciliation, enhances operational transparency, and bridges the gap between traditional finance and tokenised settlements.
As regulators tighten scrutiny and markets demand more transparency, DVA/+ gives exchanges, wallets, and market makers a critical missing link: direct access to programmable, compliant fiat rails without needing to build or maintain their own banking infrastructure.
Through StraitsX's trusted banking partners, eligible clients can now issue named USD virtual accounts with full COBO (Collect on Behalf of) and POBO (Pay on Behalf Of) functionality. These accounts are natively integrated with stablecoins like XUSD, StraitsX's USD-pegged stablecoin, enabling fast, trusted movement between fiat and digital assets across borders and counterparties.
Redefining Connectivity for Institutional-Grade Digital Finance
As stablecoins become increasingly embedded in real-world value exchange, DVA/+ meets the rising demand for programmable, compliant financial infrastructure. Built for operational scale and regulatory clarity, DVA/+ offers:
• Named USD or SGD virtual accounts under each client's entity
• Full COBO and POBO functionality for global fiat movement
• Integrated stablecoin support via StraitsX's XUSD
• Real-time fund visibility and programmable treasury workflows
• API-first design for seamless, automated back-end integration
Core Components of the DVA/+ Infrastructure
• DVA: Named Virtual Accounts (VAs) backed by top-tier banking partners
• DVA+: Enhanced Compliance access for Named VAs connected to top-tier banking partners
'DVA/+ is a turning point in how institutions connect to the future of digital finance. With DVA/+, we're removing the barriers that have long separated traditional finance from crypto-natives, and replacing them with trusted, programmable rails that meet the highest standards of compliance and scalability,' said Liu Tianwei, CEO and Co-Founder of StraitsX. 'This is a critical step in our broader mission to enable seamless value movement across currencies, networks, and jurisdictions, for any institution looking to operate at the frontier of regulated digital finance. We invite exchanges, wallet players, fintech platforms, and other crypto-native institutions to explore how DVA/+ can anchor their payment infrastructure and unlock compliant, scalable liquidity across the digital asset ecosystem.'
From Stablecoin Issuer to Strategic Infrastructure Partner
The launch of DVA/+ marks the first milestone under StraitsX's refreshed brand identity, underscoring its evolution from a single-product stablecoin issuer to a full-stack infrastructure provider for regulated digital finance. This new identity signals a broader commitment to building trusted, compliant systems that power real-world financial use cases at scale. DVA/+ exemplifies this direction as it equips institutions with the infrastructure needed to bridge fiat and stablecoins and operate with greater speed, security, and regulatory clarity.
As the digital asset economy matures, institutions are under pressure to streamline operations while meeting higher regulatory expectations. DVA/+ addresses this challenge by enabling exchanges, wallets, and market participants to access fiat and stablecoin rails without the complexity of maintaining their own banking stack. By automating settlement flows and embedding compliance into the infrastructure layer, DVA/+ helps institutions unlock faster time-to-market, more efficient treasury operations, and a higher standard of operational resilience.

Hindustan Zinc to expand into uranium mining if government allows, CEO says
NEW DELHI, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Hindustan Zinc ( opens new tab, India's top refined zinc producer, will aim to expand into uranium mining if the government opens up the sector to private players, its chief executive Arun Misra told Reuters on Tuesday. Government sources told Reuters last week that India wants to allow private firms to mine, import and process uranium as part of plans to end a decades-old state monopoly over the nuclear sector and bring in billions of dollars in investment. "If new uranium blocks are put out for private companies, Hindustan Zinc will be the first to bid," Misra said in an interview. "We will get into atomic minerals and especially uranium because the country needs it." Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government plans to expand nuclear power production capacity 12-fold by 2047. The state has historically maintained tight control over the sector due to concerns about safety, strategic security and the potential misuse of nuclear materials. Hindustan Zinc is, meanwhile, also looking to begin mining rare earth minerals in India, having won its first such block in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh earlier this year. It has floated global tenders for companies to explore the potential of the block, where it expects to start extracting neodymium - a rare earth used in magnets for motors and generators - in five to six years, Misra said. Among other critical minerals, Hindustan Zinc is interested in mining lithium, antimony, germanium, copper, and graphite and is seeking the assistance of firms from Australia, South Africa, Peru, Chile, as well as China for exploration, he said. China, which controls the bulk of global rare earth mining, suspended exports of a wide range of rare earths and related magnets in April, upending critical supply chains for automakers, aerospace manufacturers, and semiconductor companies. Beijing has promised to address New Delhi's rare earth needs, however, a top Indian official and a source said on Tuesday, as the neighbours rebuild ties damaged by a 2020 border clash. Misra said Hindustan Zinc will, meanwhile, ramp up its traditional zinc business, doubling its production capacity to 2 million metric tons by 2029.

Australia's Santos flags delay in finalising $18.7 billion ADNOC-led buyout
Aug 19 (Reuters) - Santos ( opens new tab said on Tuesday the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC)-led consortium will not be able to finalise its $18.7 billion bid for the Australian gas producer for at least a month, well past the exclusive due diligence deadline. Shares in Santos, Australia's second-largest independent gas producer, fell as much as 3.5% to a more than five-week low of A$7.68 as investors questioned whether the delay could kill the deal. "The market is telling you there's increased risk and uncertainty," said James Hood, Regal Funds Management's senior energy analyst. Santos shares have traded consistently well below the proposed offer of A$8.89 from the consortium led by ADNOC's international investment arm XRG on June 16, which analysts have attributed to scepticism the transaction will proceed. Exclusive talks between Santos and the consortium, which includes Abu Dhabi Development Holding Company (ADQ) and private equity firm Carlyle, were due to finish on Friday. The consortium told Santos it would need at least four more weeks to secure all required approvals for its bid to be formalised. XRG said in a separate statement it would continue its due diligence and progress negotiations to reach a formalised offer. Taking into account net debt, the deal would give Santos an enterprise value of A$36.4 billion, which would make it the largest all-cash corporate buyout in Australian history, according to FactSet data. "This was never going to be an easy transaction to pull off with the confluence of domestic energy security and national interest considerations as well as the multitude of hard to please stakeholders involved," said Kaushal Ramesh, vice president, gas and LNG research at Rystad Energy. The deal requires approval from regulators in Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the U.S. given Santos holds assets in each of those jurisdictions. Approval from Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board could be a major hurdle for the transaction with the government likely to be wary to hand control of key energy assets to Middle Eastern investors, analysts said. "I don't think (the delay) is going to change the overall risk to the takeover, and that's still the Foreign Investment Review Board. I think that's probably the biggest risk to the whole takeover," said Jamie Hannah, deputy investment director at Van Eck, which is a Santos shareholder. Australia's gas market is politically sensitive as the country's competition regulator has warned that the populous eastern states face a shortfall of gas from 2028 without new investment. Santos has long said its long-delayed Narrabri gas project in New South Wales state could help fill the supply gap. Woodside ( opens new tab and Santos last year scrapped $52 billion merger talks after failing to reach an agreement. Woodside Chief Executive Meg O'Neill said on Tuesday the company was not interested in making a rival bid. If successful, the consortium would gain control of two Australian liquefied natural gas operations - Gladstone LNG and Darwin LNG - as well as stakes in PNG LNG and the undeveloped Papua LNG. Santos' interests in Papua New Guinea are considered its most prized assets. The company is also developing an oil project in Alaska, Pikka, due to start producing in mid-2026. Meanwhile, Santos said it would defer its interim earnings report to August 25 from August 20.
