Nium launches dual-network stablecoin card issuance platform enabling businesses to spend digital dollars at hundreds of millions of merchant locations worldwide.

Nium already pushes 38M card tokens/year across 190 countries — this isn't a crypto company building payments infra, it's a payments company bolting stablecoin ingestion onto existing rails. Combined with the stat that 88% of stablecoin recipients convert to USD immediately, the "spend digital dollars" framing is doing heavy lifting over what's functionally an instant off-ramp with a Visa/Mastercard wrapper. Dual-network single-API is a legitimate differentiator over Gnosis Pay, Immersve, and Rain who are mostly single-rail, but the press release naming zero supported chains or specific stablecoins at "launch" tells you this is still more roadmap than product.
