WasabiCard is extending its stablecoin payment infrastructure into the global creator economy, offering services to businesses operating across more than 200 countries and regions. As livestreaming platforms and creator agencies expand overseas and build cross-regional creator networks, cross-border payments are becoming a routine part of operations, covering salaries, project fees for streamers and creators, commission splits, and content production costs.
Payment coverage for cross-border creator operations
According to the company, businesses can use a unified platform and API to manage bulk payouts, local fiat settlement, direct bank account transfers, card spending and transaction management across markets. The setup is designed to consolidate payment activity that would otherwise be spread across multiple regions.
- Regional team payroll: recurring salary payments for teams in operations, business development and client management across different markets, with settlement handled in local currencies where applicable.
- Streamer and creator payments: bulk payments for appearance fees, project fees, performance bonuses and other collaboration payments, whether for one-off projects or recurring settlement cycles.
- Commissions and revenue sharing: batch payouts of commissions, creator incentives and revenue shares for platforms working with large numbers of creators or affiliate partners, reducing the need to process payments one by one.
- Production teams and contractors: service payments for cross-regional livestreaming projects involving administrators, translators, editors, designers, livestream operators and other freelancers.
- Business expenses: eligible travel, equipment, software, advertising and content production costs paid through virtual or physical cards, bringing everyday creator-team spending into a single payment management process.
Stablecoin funding with local fiat settlement
Businesses can fund eligible payment activity with stablecoins and initiate batch payouts through the WasabiCard platform or API. The funds can then be converted into supported local fiat currencies based on the recipient’s market and settled through local payment networks directly into bank accounts held in the recipient’s own name.
WasabiCard said it currently supports cross-border payouts in more than 30 fiat currencies. In supported markets, it also provides virtual and physical cards for online and offline spending.
Integration with existing payroll and finance systems
For companies already using payroll management, creator management or finance systems, WasabiCard said its services can fit into existing workflows and take over the later stages of payment preparation, execution and local settlement. Companies can also use a unified dashboard to track payment status, fund flows and transaction records, while connecting payment data to internal finance and business management systems through APIs for centralized cross-market oversight.
Ray Yang on linking global fund movement to local delivery
WasabiCard co-founder and CEO Ray Yang said, 「The globalization of the creator economy is changing how companies handle money. A single content project may involve streamers, creators, MCN agencies and production teams from different countries.」
He added, 「Stablecoins make it possible to move funds more flexibly on a global basis, while local payment infrastructure makes sure that money can actually reach the specific people and business functions involved. We want to connect those two layers so global payments can become part of day-to-day operations.」
