Crypto cards aren't for you.
They're for auto manufactures sending inventory abroad, steel traders paying suppliers, and corporate treasuries managing their capital.
B2B stablecoin payments grew 733% in 2025 to $226 billion, and now account for 60% of real stablecoin transactions. Companies are finally coming around to the idea of adopting stablecoins, seeing their advantages over traditional networks like ACH and SWIFT, and realizing their cost saving benefits on small margin businesses.
Teams like
@RedotPay,
@slashapp,
@dakota_xyz,
@koshmoney, and
@reapglobal are all building products that serve the B2B payments demand. And they're printing money.
On the consumer side, the majority of brands are targeting markets outside of the US and Europe to avoid the stiff competition posed by Chase, Amex, Captial One, etc, and hit users without existing access to strong banking infra.
@Plasma,
@lemonapp_ar,
@KASTxyz, and
@wallbit_app are all building for international users first. American's may never fully see the benefits of transacting in crypto, but for consumers in Argentina and Brazil, these cards are a no-brainer.
