Recently, WasabiCard released its latest industry perspective on the global card issuance sector and stablecoin payment infrastructure, stating that as stablecoins gradually enter cross-border payments, corporate settlements, and global business scenarios, the global card issuance industry is transitioning from a "growth-driven" phase to a "compliance-driven" stage.
WasabiCard indicated that in the past few years, the core issue in the stablecoin payment industry has largely revolved around "availability," whereas future industry competition will gradually shift its focus to "whether it can operate stably and sustainably under global compliance frameworks."
Ray, Co-founder of WasabiCard, stated: "Stablecoins are evolving from on-chain assets into important payment vehicles in global commerce. The competition in the next phase is no longer just about product efficiency or growth speed, but about whether companies possess the capacity for long-term compliant operations and the capability of globalized infrastructure."
As stablecoin applications extend from trading scenarios into the real business world, global card issuance capabilities are also becoming crucial infrastructure connecting digital assets with traditional payment networks. Through global payment networks like Visa and Mastercard, stablecoins and digital assets are further integrated into daily consumption, corporate payments, and cross-border capital flow scenarios.
Meanwhile, WasabiCard believes that the industry's rapid expansion has exposed increasingly structural issues, including risks related to cross-regional card issuance, BIN resource management, anonymous issuance, and insufficient anti-money laundering and risk control capabilities.
Against this backdrop, the industry is gradually shifting from a growth model reliant on "grey-area efficiency" to a development path that places greater emphasis on compliance, risk control, and long-term operational capabilities.
Centered on this trend, WasabiCard also disclosed its long-term infrastructure strategy, which includes: establishing localized operational systems through collaboration with licensed principal members and local partners; building robust KYC and AML risk control systems; strictly distinguishing between commercial BIN and consumer BIN usage scenarios; and continuously enhancing capabilities in global card issuance, payments, and cross-border capital flow infrastructure.
WasabiCard stated that the core objective of these strategies is not merely to improve short-term efficiency but to build payment infrastructure with long-term stability and scalability amid the evolving global regulatory landscape. The competitive logic of the future global card issuance industry will also gradually shift from "scale competition" to "infrastructure capability competition." As stablecoins further integrate with global commerce, payment infrastructure will no longer be just a financial tool but will gradually become an underlying capability embedded in internet commerce. Companies with global compliant operations, resource integration, and platformization capabilities will occupy more significant positions in the industry's next phase of development.
In the future, WasabiCard will continue to enhance its infrastructure capabilities, focusing on global card issuance, stablecoin payments, cross-border capital flows, and API-driven financial workflows.
