Semoto

Regulated institutional OTC and treasury execution for digital assets including cross-border settlement, FX, and fiat/crypto on/off-ramp services across Asia, Africa, LatAm, and the EU.

Semoto Prime is the coordination and settlement layer for institutional and corporate capital. We orchestrate treasury flows, cross-border payments, and controlled disbursements across banking, FX, and stablecoin rails, so funds move exactly when and how each transaction requires. One desk. Every rail. Full control.

Most of our clients are not crypto companies. They are corporates, brokers, funds, family offices, and trading businesses with a payments or treasury problem: slow correspondent banking, trapped liquidity, exotic currency corridors, or multi-party transactions where funds must be released in a controlled sequence. We solve the problem first and choose the rail second. When speed or reach calls for it, stablecoins do the work under the bonnet. The client simply sees faster, more predictable settlement.

What we do:

Treasury Management: one place to coordinate treasury across banking, FX, and digital asset rails, structuring compliant payables and receivables and optimising working capital.

Cross-Border Payments: execution and settlement in 60+ major and exotic currencies, for mid-size to very large flows, with same-day settlement on many corridors.

Virtual Accounts: dedicated multi-currency virtual accounts per client or per transaction, with multi-entity segregation and controlled disbursement for multi-party deals.

Digital Asset Conversion: conversion between fiat and digital assets, including stablecoins, with best-execution routing through our banking and liquidity network.

Embedded Liquidity: exchanges, brokers, and fintechs plug into Semoto Prime for liquidity and execution while we coordinate venues, rails, and operations.

Who we serve:

Corporates, TradFi institutions, family offices and HNWIs, luxury and real estate, maritime, and commodities. Institutional and professional clients only.

Why Semoto Prime:

A boutique, problem-solving desk that supports you before, during, and after every transaction. Onboard once and transact across our institutional banking and liquidity network instead of onboarding with multiple providers. Client funds sit with regulated banking and EMI partners. Semoto Prime runs the coordination layer.

Semoto Prime Inc. is registered with FINTRAC as a Money Services Business (C100000994) and with the Bank of Canada under the RPAA. Part of the Semoto group, with teams in London, Dubai, and Toronto.

Use Cases

Private Bankers

Private bankers can offer clients regulated fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat conversion without building their own infrastructure. Semoto Prime handles settlement, custody-adjacent treasury flows, and compliance documentation under the banker's relationship, keeping the client experience seamless while Semoto Prime manages the regulatory and operational backend.

Maritime - Cross-Border Vessel & Charter Payments

Shipping and chartering counterparties in jurisdictions with limited banking access can settle freight, charter, and bunkering payments through Semoto Prime's neutral escrow-style facilitation. This reduces settlement delays and counterparty risk on corridors where correspondent banking is thin or unreliable, particularly across Asia, Africa, and LatAm routes.

Commodities - Trade Settlement & FX Bridging

Commodity traders moving value across multiple currencies and counterparties use Semoto Prime as a settlement bridge - converting between fiat and digital assets to speed up payment cycles on physical trade flows - while partnerships with Zodia Markets and Ripple support deep liquidity for large-ticket transactions.

Real Estate - Cross-Border Property Transaction Settlement

International buyers and sellers use Semoto Prime to settle property transactions across borders - converting funds via digital assets to avoid slow correspondent banking chains - with escrow-style facilitation providing assurance to both sides of the transaction during completion.
