Recently, WasabiCard released its latest industry perspective on the global card issuance industry and stablecoin payment infrastructure, believing 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" phase.

WasabiCard stated that in the past few years, the core issues of the stablecoin payment industry have revolved more around "whether it is usable," while in the future, the focus of industry competition will gradually shift to "whether it can operate stably in a global compliance framework in the long term."

Ray, co-founder of WasabiCard, stated: “Stablecoins are gradually evolving from on-chain assets to important payment mediums in global commerce. The next phase of competition will no longer just be about product efficiency or growth speed, but about whether companies have the capability for long-term compliant operations and global infrastructure.”

As the application of stablecoins expands from transaction scenarios to the real commercial world, global card issuance capability is also becoming an important infrastructure that connects digital assets and traditional payment networks. Through global payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard, stablecoins and digital assets can further enter daily consumption, corporate payments, and cross-border fund transfer scenarios.

At the same time, WasabiCard believes that the rapid expansion of the industry has also exposed more structural issues, including cross-regional card issuance, BIN resource management, anonymous card issuance, as well as insufficient anti-money laundering and risk control capabilities.

In this context, the industry is gradually shifting from a growth model that relies on "gray efficiency" to a development path that emphasizes compliance, risk control, and long-term operational capability.

Regarding this trend, WasabiCard has also disclosed its long-term infrastructure strategy, which includes: establishing localized operating systems through collaboration with licensed members and local partners, building a comprehensive KYC and AML risk control system, strictly distinguishing between commercial BIN and consumer BIN usage scenarios, and continuously improving global card issuance, payment, and cross-border fund transfer infrastructure capabilities.

WasabiCard stated that the core goal of these strategies is not merely to enhance short-term efficiency but to build payment infrastructure that possesses long-term stability and scalability in the context of an evolving global regulatory environment. The competitive logic of the global card issuance industry in the future will also gradually shift from "scale competition" to "infrastructure capability competition." As stablecoins and global commerce further merge, payment infrastructure will no longer just be a financial tool but will gradually become the underlying capability embedded within internet commerce. Companies with global compliance operations, resource integration, and platform capabilities will occupy a more critical position in the next phase of industry development.

In the future, WasabiCard will continue to enhance its infrastructure capabilities around global card issuance, stablecoin payments, cross-border fund transfers, and API-driven financial workflows.
