Karta's Premium Stablecoin Card for Global Travelers

Freddy Juez, Founder and CEO of Karta, walks through how Karta is building a stablecoin-powered credit card for global travelers, distributed B2B2C through a network of 70+ private wealth management banks that puts the card in the hands of the world's wealthiest clients, most of whom don't know it runs on stablecoins.

Freddy breaks down why credit (not debit) is the only real play for international travel, how Karta solves the 6-10% FX hit Brazilian cardholders take when they swipe abroad, and how Karta's recently closed $125M warehouse facility from a TradFi lender routes USDC through a smart contract (powered by Rain) to fund cardholder spend. He explains why Karta gets in front of private banking clients that Amex and Chase pay $2,000 to $3,000 each to acquire, why Brazil's stablecoin regulations make it the cleanest launch market in LatAm ahead of Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia, and why European and Asian rollouts are next. He also walks through Karta's WhatsApp AI concierge: an agentic layer that activates cards, issues one-time virtual cards on demand, books travel, pays bills, and handles disputes entirely inside WhatsApp. Freddy makes the case it's one of the most underpriced shifts happening in consumer finance today.
