Bridge, the Stripe-owned stablecoin infrastructure platform, has announced a surge in adoption for its global card issuing platform, enabling users to spend stablecoins seamlessly at millions of merchants worldwide.

Launched earlier in 2025 in partnership with Visa, Bridge's platform eliminates the friction of converting stablecoins to fiat, allowing direct spending from wallet balances without delays, cross-border fees for local transactions, or separate top-ups.

Key new integrations include:

• Zepz (Sendwave and WorldRemit): The global payments giant, serving 9 million customers, is rolling out Bridge-powered Visa cards for Sendwave Wallet users. Starting in markets like Brazil in early 2026, customers can spend their USDC or digital dollar balances on everyday purchases. This builds on Sendwave's stablecoin-backed wallet launched in October 2025.

“By leveraging Bridge's infrastructure, Sendwave customers can use their digital dollar balance to not just send, receive and hold funds but also to spend them as an integral part of their daily lives.”
— Mark Lenhard, CEO of Zepz

Phantom Wallet: The popular crypto wallet with over 15 million users is introducing Phantom Cash, backed by its new CASH stablecoin issued via Bridge's Open Issuance platform. Users can top up, pay friends, and soon spend globally with a Bridge-powered Visa card, creating a unified ecosystem for holding, sending, and spending crypto.

“Phantom Cash makes crypto feel as seamless and intuitive as money in your pocket.”
— Donnie Dinch, VP of Strategy at Phantom

Other platforms already live with Bridge cards include Airtm, Chipper Cash, Roqqu, Sling Money, Fuse, Solid, Gigbanc, and Unifi.

Bridge highlights enhanced features for developers:

• Rapid global expansion (Africa, Latin America, US now; EU and APAC in 2026)
• No cross-border fees for local spending via Visa collaboration
• Flexible integrations with non-custodial or custodial wallets
• Support for custom stablecoins and interchange revenue sharing
• Real-time dashboard insights
