Blue Star Capital Rallies as SatoshiPay’s Vortex Platform Hits $1m Milestone.
Blue Star Capital plc (AIM: BLU), the investment company focused on blockchain, esports, and payments, has highlighted a significant milestone achieved by its investee company, SatoshiPay Ltd.
SatoshiPay announced that Vortex, a decentralised exchange platform it incubated, has surpassed $1 million in transaction volume since launching in Europe and Brazil. Of that total, $507,000 was processed in May 2025 alone.
Vortex is designed to improve global payments by bridging stablecoins with local fiat currencies. The platform enables seamless and low-cost swaps between stablecoins, such as USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT), and local currencies like the euro (via SEPA) and the Brazilian real (via PIX, Brazil’s instant payment system).
Operating at significantly lower costs than traditional solutions, Vortex targets the growing cross-border stablecoin payments market, which reached US$27 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to US$137 billion by 2028. This expansion highlights a US$14 billion opportunity in the on- and off-ramp segment over the next four years.
Vortex’s model combines stablecoin-optimised decentralized exchange infrastructure with local on/off-ramp partners, offering instant currency conversion and bank transfers without hidden fees. By leveraging chain abstraction, it delivers a seamless experience across multiple blockchain networks, including Polygon, Base, BSC, Ethereum, and Polkadot. The platform is built atop Nabla technology and uses Pendulum infrastructure.
Blue Star Capital’s share price surged 203.62% to 15.18 p following the announcement.
