Digital asset platform OSL is expanding its institutional over-the-counter (OTC) services in response to surging demand for stablecoins, which have collectively surpassed $250 billion in circulating supply—a nearly 90% increase since January 2025.
The market’s rapid growth underscores the increasing importance of stablecoins as a foundational layer of liquidity within the digital asset economy.
According to OSL, USDT remains the dominant stablecoin, accounting for approximately 61% of the total market. This dominance has reinforced its utility as a fast, dollar-pegged settlement rail that clears transactions within seconds. Over the past year, stablecoins have processed more transaction volume than Visa and Mastercard combined, positioning them as the preferred settlement method in crypto markets.
OSL emphasized that achieving the best execution in today’s market environment requires more than just competitive pricing. It includes 24/7 access to a robust and regulated infrastructure that is capable of facilitating rapid cross-border settlements. The firm’s ability to quote, clear, and custody assets across multiple jurisdictions has enabled it to meet the rising institutional demand for secure and efficient trading workflows.
In May, OSL recorded significant momentum across its institutional services. Request-for-quote (RFQ) trading volume increased by 78%, while activity in tokens such as Solana (SOL) and XRP rose by 152%. The company also launched its global OTC service, branded as #OSLGlobalOTC, aimed at scaling its footprint among institutional clients.

As part of its growth strategy, OSL partnered with Nine Blocks Capital Management to offer regulated, market-neutral digital asset funds. OSL Custody expanded its asset coverage to include PAXG from Paxos and sUSDe from Ethena Labs.
Additionally, sUSDe was integrated into OSL Wealth’s offerings, providing clients with secure access to synthetic dollar-based yield strategies.
The firm also launched its OSLPay platform, designed to bridge traditional finance with Web3 payment infrastructure. The platform’s new website went live in May, further advancing OSL’s goal of supporting seamless digital asset adoption through licensed and compliant channels.
