What does Kulipa's stablecoin card platform actually do?

Kulipa provides the technical infrastructure that lets banks and fintechs issue physical and digital cards denominated in stablecoins (like USDC). Instead of managing traditional currency settlement, cardholders spend directly from stablecoin wallets.

Who would actually use a stablecoin card instead of a normal card?

Mainly crypto-native businesses, international remittance users avoiding currency conversion fees, and niche markets where stablecoin payment rails offer genuine advantages. Mainstream consumers? Probably not yet, if ever.

Is stablecoin card infrastructure a good investment?

It depends on regulatory clarity and real business demand. The infrastructure is technically sound, but the market is narrow and competitive. Success requires years of patience and modest margins—not typical venture-scale returns.
