You have USDC sitting in a wallet. You want to buy coffee. Here's how stablecoin spending actually works .
The Stablecoin Problem
Stablecoins were supposed to be digital dollars you could use anywhere. In practice, you've had to: transfer to an exchange, sell for fiat, withdraw to a bank account, wait 2-3 days. That defeats the purpose.
In, stablecoin debit cards finally work. You load USDC or USDT, swipe your card, and the merchant gets paid. No exchanges, no waiting.
How Stablecoin Cards Work
You hold stablecoins in your card wallet. When you tap to pay, the issuer converts the exact purchase amount to the merchant's local currency in real-time. The merchant sees a normal VISA transaction. The conversion happens at point of sale - you keep the stability of holding dollars until you spend.
