The global stablecoin payment infrastructure platform WasabiCard has been featured in a special report by Forbes, which discusses the challenges faced by stablecoin payments in becoming mainstream applications and includes an interview with WasabiCard co-founder and CEO Ray Yang. The report points out that as stablecoin applications gradually extend from crypto trading to real business scenarios such as corporate payments and cross-border settlements, the underlying payment infrastructure is becoming a key driver of industry development.In the interview, Ray Yang stated: "At this stage, the development of stablecoin payments still faces dual challenges in technology and regulation. From a technical perspective, the core issue is no longer the transfer of funds itself; rather, the key lies in licensing qualifications, compliance systems, risk management capabilities, and banking network capabilities."Ray Yang further pointed out that the key to achieving large-scale commercialization of stablecoin payments does not lie in the payment capability itself, but in whether a global infrastructure can be built to connect digital assets with the traditional financial system. As a global stablecoin payment infrastructure platform, WasabiCard continues to focus on the global payment network, compliance systems, and enterprise-level payment capabilities, committed to promoting the widespread application of stablecoins in real business scenarios.This special report by Forbes reflects the ongoing attention of international mainstream financial media to the development trends of stablecoin payment infrastructure and indirectly highlights the growing importance of compliance and the value of building scalable global payment networks in the market.
