Payment infrastructure company Nium announced the launch of a stablecoin card issuance platform, enabling businesses to issue payment cards backed by stablecoin funds through the Visa and Mastercard networks. The platform can convert stablecoin balances into fiat currency in real-time during transactions, while streamlining settlement, compliance, and card network access. It aims to reduce the launch cycle of stablecoin card projects from several months to just a few days. (Cointelegraph)
