"Stablecoin-linked cards have crossed $1.6B per month making on-chain money spendable anywhere Visa and Mastercard are accepted, without touching a bank." Artemis Research, 2025
The Bridge Between On-Chain and the Physical World
The barrier between stablecoin holdings and real-world spending has collapsed. By mid-2025, $1.6 billion in monthly card transactions were processed via stablecoin-linked cards where users spend USDC or USDT at any merchant accepting Visa or Mastercard, with real-time conversion at the point of sale. For businesses, corporate cards backed by stablecoin treasury balances are now commercially available, allowing companies to pay suppliers, reimburse employees, and manage expenses from their USDC balance without first converting to fiat.
What Stablecoin Cards Mean for Corporate Expense Management
Corporate stablecoin cards eliminate the multi-step process of converting stablecoins to fiat before spending. A business holding $2 million in USDC can issue virtual or physical cards to employees that draw directly from that balance. For companies operating in multiple countries, this eliminates the need for local currency accounts in each jurisdiction one global USDC balance serves all markets through local card networks.
B2B Procurement via Stablecoin Cards
Beyond employee expense cards, stablecoin-linked corporate cards are being used for B2B procurement particularly for smaller supplier payments, SaaS subscriptions, and vendor transactions. A $5,000 software subscription renewal, a $12,000 equipment purchase, or a recurring supplier payment can all be handled via stablecoin card with instant settlement, full records, and zero bank transfer fees.
