On March 30, 2026, San Francisco-based fintech company Nium unveiled its stablecoin card issuance platform, designed to bridge digital currencies with traditional commerce. The solution allows enterprises to issue payment cards funded by stablecoins on both the Visa and Mastercard networks through a single integration, converting stablecoin balances into fiat currency at the point of sale across hundreds of millions of merchant locations worldwide.
One-Stop Compliance Infrastructure
Nium's platform leverages over 40 regulatory licenses to provide compliant card issuance across 190 countries without requiring businesses to build new backend systems. The company currently issues 38 million card tokens annually and supports real-time disbursements in over 100 different currencies. By managing cross-border settlement and network compliance in a single API layer, the platform reduces the time-to-market for stablecoin programs from months to days.
CEO Perspective: Driven by Enterprise Demand
“Every business we speak to that holds stablecoins wants the same thing: a simple, compliant way to deploy those balances without building the infrastructure themselves,” said Prajit Nanu, CEO and Founder of Nium. The launch positions Nium as a primary infrastructure provider for companies looking to deploy digital dollars at scale through established global payment rails.
Industry Context & Impact
The adoption of stablecoins in payments is accelerating. Earlier, Visa announced a plan with Bridge to bring stablecoin-linked cards to over 100 countries. Nium's dual-network platform further lowers the barrier for enterprises to embrace stablecoin payments, particularly in cross-border remittances, e-commerce, and supply chain finance. As regulatory frameworks mature, stablecoin cards are poised to become a bridge between traditional credit cards and digital currencies, driving broader enterprise adoption of digital dollars for everyday transactions.
Nium's solution addresses the liquidity idle problem of stablecoins while mitigating regulatory risks through its compliant architecture. Looking ahead, Nium plans to expand supported stablecoin types and payment networks, continuously enhancing the enterprise payment experience.
