Nium Launches Stablecoin Card-Issuing Platform for Visa and Mastercard

The launch signals growing efforts to route dollar-pegged crypto through existing card rails.

Overview

  • Nium introduced a managed platform that issues cards funded by stablecoins.
  • The cards spend on Visa and Mastercard as balances convert to local currency at checkout.
  • Businesses integrate through one API that Nium says replaces separate banking, compliance, and network vendors.
  • Nium says programs can go live in days and tap its payout network in 190+ countries with licenses in 40+ jurisdictions.
  • The coverage cites company claims on scale and network ties, with no independent adoption data or transaction volumes.
