In 2025, the global crypto-finance ecosystem is entering a new phase of growth, with stablecoins emerging as a key medium for payments in the digital economy. In response to the rising demand for cross-border asset flows, AP UCard officially opened its website for global user registration on June 1st, enabling users worldwide to apply for the card and further advancing the integration of on-chain assets with real-world payment systems.

From Digital Assets to Consumer Payments: Unlocking Market Demand

Over the past decade, digital assets have matured across investment, value storage, and trading use cases. However, payment applications remain a frontier in need of breakthrough.

According to projections from Circle, Visa, and other industry leaders, the global stablecoin payments market is expected to surpass $5 trillion per day within the next three years. Key growth drivers include cross-border payments, personal consumption, freelancer income settlements, and corporate payments.

At the same time, the traditional payments landscape is evolving:

• Mainstream global payment networks are gradually opening to compliant stablecoin transactions

• Regulatory clarity is improving in key markets such as the UK, EU, Singapore, and Hong Kong

• Consumer demand for spending on-chain assets is surging, with growing holdings of stablecoins.

In this context, “stablecoin usability” is becoming a core theme driving the advancement of digital finance.

AP UCard: Bridging On-Chain Value and Global Payment Networks

Against this backdrop, AP UCard positions itself as a globally accessible and compliant stablecoin payment card, issued in partnership with a UK FCA-licensed entity and Visa / Mastercard.

Users can top up Crypto Assets via major blockchains , which is automatically converted to USD balance for spending across 210+ countries and regions.

Key features include:

• Global usability: accepted at 170 million+ merchant terminals and 3.2 million+ ATMs, supporting both online and offline payments

• Regulatory compliance & security: overseen by the UK FCA, with fully traceable asset flows

• Ecosystem compatibility: seamless integration with Apple Pay, Alipay, WeChat Pay, Meituan, TikTok, PayPal, and other popular payment platforms, delivering a card-like user experience

This design lowers the barrier to entry and expands the real-world use cases for on-chain assets, promoting the mainstream adoption of stablecoins in the global payments ecosystem.

Open Registration: Empowering Global Access to On-Chain Payment Infrastructure

As of June 1st, the AP UCard website has officially opened for registration. The first wave of users can now apply online and experience global stablecoin payment services.

This registration launch marks an important milestone in the development of the AP UCard ecosystem:

• Initiates the phase of broad global accessibility

• Lays the foundation for future expansion into merchant ecosystems, cross-border payments, and enterprise partnerships

• Enables compliant free flow of assets for global crypto users

The AP UCard team stated:"We aim to provide a simple and trusted product, enabling global users to participate in the digital economy more conveniently and helping stablecoins become an effective complement to traditional payment networks."

Looking Ahead: Building Web3 Payment Infrastructure

The ambition of AP UCard extends far beyond card issuance. The goal is to create a future-proof Web3 digital finance infrastructure, with key pillars including:

• Account-as-wallet, card-as-payment-terminal

• Support for personal consumption, enterprise payments, and merchant ecosystems

• Integration with global revenue-sharing mechanisms to drive sustainable platform growth

• Future support for multi-stablecoin and multi-fiat settlements, as well as compatibility with DeFi, cross-border e-commerce, and digital labor markets

As global user habits around stablecoin spending mature, “real-time consumption of on-chain assets” is poised to become a major fintech trend. AP UCard is actively building toward this future.
