ZBX Expands into Merchant Payments with BoomFi Partnership

Zillion Bits Limited (ZBX), a Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA)-authorised crypto-asset service provider, has partnered with BoomFi to expand its regulated platform beyond trading and custody into merchant payments. The partnership will give businesses across the European Economic Area a single route to accept stablecoin and crypto-asset payments, hold and settle balances in stablecoins or fiat, and make outbound payouts to suppliers, partners, and counterparties.

The BoomFi modular technology stack brings together wallet infrastructure, liquidity, transaction screening, Travel Rule compliance, settlement, and banking arrangements. This allows ZBX to accelerate the development and launch of its merchant payments offering while retaining its existing infrastructure and service-provider relationships.

Under the partnership, ZBX will offer eligible business clients payment acceptance in major stablecoins and crypto-assets through payment links, hosted checkout, or direct API integration. They will also have wallet infrastructure for merchant balances and treasury management with settlement in stablecoins or fiat, and functionality supporting outbound payments and disbursements to suppliers, partners, and counterparties.

The service is expected to go live in late September 2026, subject to completion of the necessary implementation and operational readiness requirements. ZBX's CEO, Ian Dawson, stated that clients have been asking them to move beyond trading into payments, and partnering with BoomFi lets them do so without diluting focus on what they do best.
