NOPayment and card issuance platform launched stablecoin card issuing platform. The solution allows companies holding stablecoins to issue charge cards on both Visa and Mastercard networks through a single API integration, enabling stablecoins to be used in hundreds of millions of merchant locations worldwide.
Stablecoins have crossed the threshold from the experimental phase to the infrastructure phase. With regulatory frameworks evolving in the US, EU and Asia Pacific, and an estimated $200 billion worth of stablecoins now in circulation, companies are no longer asking whether they should hold digital dollars; they ask how to make them work. Designed to complement existing systems, Nium’s platform expands usage by connecting stablecoins to established payment network infrastructure; It brings acceptance, reliability and protections that businesses and consumers already rely on.
Businesses can convert stablecoin balances into real spending power through cryptocurrency-to-fiat conversion at points of sale in hundreds of millions of business locations around the world, without building new infrastructure or having to navigate a fragmented web of network agreements, banking sponsors, and compliance filings.
“Stablecoins have proven they can move money. Now we’re proving they can power commerce at an enterprise scale. Every business we spoke to that holds stablecoins wants the same thing: a simple, compliant way to distribute those balances without building the infrastructure themselves. Today, Nium delivers exactly that – across both major payment networks, in every major market, through a single integration.” in question Prajit NanuCEO and founder of Nium.
Businesses connect to Nium via a single API and can immediately:
Issue stablecoin-backed cards globally – Enable card-based spending through the Visa and Mastercard networks, leveraging built-in global acceptance, security and consumer protections.
Enable stablecoin exchange options where supported – Reduce multi-step fiat conversion chains and operational friction while maintaining compliance with applicable regulatory, network and market requirements.
Spend and distribute through a single partner – Paired with Nium’s payment network in over 190 countries, card issuance allows companies to distribute stablecoin balances through cards and payments without the need to manage separate provider relationships.
Nium reduced the time to market for stablecoin card programs from months of special infrastructure work to days. The platform manages conversion chain complexity, cross-border payment restrictions, and card network compliance in a single managed layer; It replaces what would otherwise require multiple supplier relationships and fragmented integration.
“We are building at the intersection of stablecoins, artificial intelligence and programmable money because we believe the next generation of payments will be faster, smarter and built on digital currencies. Today’s launch is the opening move. We want to ensure our customers are ready for what comes next.” added Nanu.
Nium’s stablecoin card platform is a native extension of the infrastructure that already issues 38 million card tokens annually for banks, fintechs and businesses worldwide; with network relationships, regulatory coverage, and payment rails that would take years to build independently.
Nium’s regulatory licenses in more than 40 countries eliminate reliance on third-party banking intermediaries, which add costs and slow time to market.
