\nStablecard offers a consumer-friendly way to receive funds and store value in USDPT, a U.S. dollar stablecoin, in a secure digital wallet and spend seamlessly anywhere Visa is accepted. USDPT is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank on the Solana blockchain. USDPT is redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars and is fully backed by reserves.<\/p>\n

\nThe industry has spent years making digital dollars easier to move and store. Stablecard makes them easy to spend. Stablecard answers a simple need: hold dollar value and spend it anywhere Visa is accepted. For remittance receivers in markets where local currencies frequently fluctuate, a dollar-backed balance protects what they have already earned. For everyday spenders, it turns that balance into spending power at any Visa merchant or ATM, online or in store.<\/p>\n

\nStablecard goes live in 37 markets, including the key markets where local currency is not stable and demand for stablecoins is already visible\u2014with Western Union targeting 60+ markets by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The Stablecard mobile app combines a digital USDPT wallet and a Visa card in a single experience. Customers can request and manage their Stablecard, hold and transfer USDPT, and send and receive funds to and from compatible digital asset wallets and exchanges \u2014 with value spendable instantly through the linked Visa card.<\/b><\/p>\n
