Ratio Launches Stablecoin Orchestration Layer to Transform FX Execution Across Asia

HONG KONG — February 9, 2026  Ratio today announced the launch of its next-generation financial infrastructure designed to revolutionize cross-border payments and settlement across Asia. Unveiled at Consensus Hong Kong, Ratio addresses the long-standing challenges of high costs, slow settlement times, and fragmented liquidity that have hindered the region's payment ecosystem.

Asia's cross-border payment market—the world's largest—continues to face significant inefficiencies. Traditional settlement channels can take one to three days to complete, with transaction costs ranging from 1.5% to 3.0%. Ratio transforms this landscape by providing institutional-grade infrastructure that enables instant, 24/7 settlement with dramatically reduced costs.

"We are building the foundational layer for the future of cross-border finance in Asia," said John Cho, Chief Stablecoin Officer at Ratio. "By abstracting complexity and prioritizing compliance, we enable financial institutions and payment providers to deliver faster, more affordable services to their customers."

Designed for Institutional Excellence

Ratio's architecture addresses the specific needs of the Asian market through three core capabilities:

  • Advanced FX Engine delivering institutional-quality pricing at a fraction of the cost of legacy correspondent banking.
  • Intelligent Liquidity Hub optimizing transaction routing across multiple channels including direct issuer relationships and institutional networks
  • Integrated Yield Engine enabling capital efficiency through strategic yield generation on idle liquidity

The platform serves Payment Service Providers, digital wallets, and financial institutions through a unified API that simplifies integration while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

Strategic Foundation

Ratio leverages the extensive reach of the Kaia ecosystem, which connects to over 250 million users across Asia through partners including Kakao and LINE. The platform is launching with strategic collaborations across the ecosystem, including technical partnerships for infrastructure development and direct integrations with regional stablecoin issuers.

"Success in Asia requires a deep understanding of local markets, regulatory frameworks, and partnership ecosystems," added Cho. "Ratio is purpose-built to meet these requirements while delivering performance that surpasses traditional financial infrastructure."

Availability

Ratio is currently in Phase 1 deployment, working with select institutional partners. Broader API availability for Payment Service Providers and settlement networks is planned for later in 2026.
