OpenPayd has expanded its US footprint by integrating MSB USA Inc., bringing 43 state money transmitter licenses under its control. The company is also pursuing a Nasdaq listing through a merger with Titan Acquisition Corp. The London-based financial infrastructure provider says the integration followed regulatory approvals and builds a wider US and North American regulatory base. It recently secured MiCA authorization in Europe, supporting operations across both fiat and digital assets. OpenPayd reports annual recurring revenue above $96 million and annualized transaction volume exceeding $300 billion, remaining profitable without external capital. The Nasdaq transaction, valuing the firm at up to $1.145 billion, is expected to close in the fourth quarter.
