Stables & Cards reports on stablecoin card programs, the companies issuing them, and the payment infrastructure they run on.
We write for people working in the market rather than watching it. Payments and fintech operators, founders, product teams, investors, banks and card networks.
What we cover
Cards is about card programs funded by stablecoin balances. Who launched, who sponsors the BIN, which processor sits in the middle, what the rewards actually cost.
Stablecoins is about the assets themselves. Issuers, reserves, attestations, where supply is growing and where it is not, and the licensing regimes each issuer operates under.
Payments is about money moving. Settlement, cross-border B2B flows, remittance corridors, payouts, and the orchestration layers between banks and chains.
Who writes it
Jazmine Faulkner edits the site. She covers stablecoin card programs and the issuers behind them, cross-border settlement, and the licensing regimes that decide who can operate where.
Brenda Aldine covers payments infrastructure: settlement rails, clearing and correspondent banking, and the corridor economics of moving tokenised dollars across borders. She writes our Latin America coverage and follows the banks wiring stablecoins into their platforms.
William Nathaniels covers policy and market structure: licensing regimes in Washington, Singapore and Hong Kong, consortium ventures, and the rulemakings that decide who may issue tokenised money and where. He reads the comment files so you do not have to.
Bridge Friedman covers card programs: stablecoin-funded credentials, the enablers and sponsor banks behind them, consumer wallets, and the reward economics that decide which cards survive contact with an interchange cap.

How we work
Every article names its author and lists the sources it was reported from, at the foot of the page where you can check them. Nothing publishes here without both. Our editorial policy sets out the rest.
Market data
Supply figures come from DefiLlama and traded volume from CoinGecko. The methodology page explains what each number counts and what it leaves out.
Funding
Stables & Cards is independently owned. Advertising and sponsored placements are labelled as sponsored on the article and in our feeds. We do not take payment to alter or remove editorial coverage.
