Marqeta and Coinbase have partnered to launch a stablecoin-enabled payment card solution, which Marqeta’s enterprise customers can now offer to users. Coinbase is responsible for custody of stablecoin balances and conversion between digital assets and fiat currency, while Base provides the on-chain settlement infrastructure; Marqeta handles card issuance, payment processing, and relationships with banks and card networks. Users can spend their stablecoin balances at merchants that accept bank cards.
推荐理由:The material clearly breaks down Coinbase and Marqeta’s respective responsibilities for custody, fiat conversion, on-chain settlement, card issuance, and processing, making it easier to understand how a stablecoin card connects to existing card networks.
Stripe and Plasma have partnered to launch a multi-currency stablecoin card, allowing cardholders to spend directly from the currencies they already hold and reduce unnecessary conversion and FX costs. The program currently covers more than 30 countries and supports USD, EUR, OUSD, and stablecoins that meet GENIUS-ready requirements, with the goal of expanding to more than 100 countries by 2027. Stripe’s stablecoin card infrastructure will also support more currencies and stablecoins, enabling businesses operating across markets to issue cards matched to their spending needs.
推荐理由:The project covers both fiat currencies and stablecoins, and provides the current country coverage and subsequent expansion target, making it easier to assess the use cases for multi-currency cards in cross-border spending and corporate card issuance.
