Solayer Pay has officially launched its physical card, previously known as the Emerald Card, expanding its platform to 40,000 users across over 100 countries. This card allows users to spend USDC directly from their Solayer Pay accounts via Visa’s payment network, enhancing the utility of digital assets in everyday transactions.
The introduction of this card comes amid a growing trend in the crypto and payments sector, with several companies, including OKX and MetaMask, launching similar stablecoin-linked cards. This surge reflects an increasing acceptance of stablecoins, which have seen their market cap rise from approximately $243.3 billion in May 2025 to around $322.5 billion today. Tether remains the leader in this space, but USDC is gaining traction, highlighting the evolving landscape of digital currency adoption.
For market professionals, the launch signals a pivotal shift towards mainstream integration of stablecoins in traditional payment systems, indicating potential growth opportunities in both the crypto and fintech sectors.
