Orochi Network and SOOHO.IO Inc. have entered into a partnership to co-develop cross-border payment infrastructure by stablecoin and accelerate institutional Real-World Asset (RWA) adoption across APAC and global corridors.
Global tailwinds make this partnership timely. The RWA market reached about $24 billion by mid‑2025 and is projected to scale into the multi‑trillion range this decade—estimates span $2–4T by 2030 up to $30T by 2034 . Stablecoin capitalization stood near $252B mid‑2025, with on‑chain payments surpassing $5.7T in 2024 and accelerating in 2025 . Addressable opportunities in cross‑border e‑commerce, remittances, B2B trade, and digital payments exceed $417.6B annually, reinforcing the case for a stablecoin-based, interoperable payment stack that meets institutional compliance requirements .
Orochi Network - Verifiable Data Infrastructure for RWA
Orochi provides proof‑agnostic verifiable data infrastructure (VDI) combining the world’s first Zero‑Knowledge Data Availability Layer (zkDA Layer) with zkDatabase, a provable NoSQL database. zkDatabase compresses millions of operations into a single succinct proof verifiable on‑ or off‑chain in ~500 ms, delivering audit‑grade integrity, privacy, and multi‑chain interoperability for regulated finance and RWA workflows . Orochi’s architecture supports multiple ZK systems (e.g., Halo2, Plonky3, Nova) and commitments (Merkle, KZG, Verkle), enabling future‑proof cross‑chain deployment. In RWA, Orochi collaborates with leading ecosystems including Plume, XDC Network, Novastro, and HELIX .

Namsan FX Layer - Stablecoin Cross-border Payment Infrastructure
Sooho’s Namsan FX Layer is an institutional-grade, asset‑agnostic FX and cross‑border payment infrastructure that supports multi‑currency stablecoins, on‑network foreign exchange, and real‑time settlement in a legally compliant framework. Early deployments include a KRW‑pegged stablecoin pilot for foreign tourists, with more real-world pilots with various global financial institutions and partners participating in building the clearing and settlement infrastructure together .
Why Stablecoin + RWA now
Stablecoins are fast becoming a core settlement medium for remittances, merchant payments, and B2B trade—offering 24/7 finality and materially lower costs while improving transparency and programmability. As tokenized Treasuries, credit, and real estate expand, stablecoins increasingly serve as the operating cash layer for RWA issuance and lifecycle servicing, bridging on‑chain assets to real‑world settlement . Regulatory clarity across major jurisdictions is further catalyzing bank‑grade integrations and institutional adoption .
How Orochi and Sooho will collaborate (Cross‑border payment infrastructure by Stablecoin)
- Joint solution blueprint and GTM: Integrate Orochi’s zkDA Layer and zkDatabase with Sooho’s Namsan FX Layer to deliver verifiable, privacy‑preserving compliance data (KYC/AML, audit trails) into bank‑grade stablecoin rails for real‑time, low‑cost cross‑border settlement .
- Stablecoin‑first architecture: Support multi‑currency stablecoin fees, and automated accounting; reinforce cross‑chain security and collateral transparency.
- Institutional corridors: Coordinate co‑marketing and enterprise engagements across APAC and priority international corridors; each party appoints a coordinator to streamline execution .
- Compliance by design: Use zero‑knowledge attestations to minimize data exposure while retaining regulator‑grade auditability for payments and RWA servicing .
Impact for financial institutions
By fusing Orochi’s verifiable data and privacy stack with Sooho’s stablecoin cross‑border payment infrastructure, banks and enterprises gain a compliant, interoperable foundation to issue RWAs, manage cash and collateral, and settle globally in real time. This architecture addresses core blockers—data integrity, compliance, interoperability, and cost—while aligning with a market where stablecoin usage and RWA tokenization are converging at scale .
