Singapore-based StraitsX, the company behind the stablecoin infrastructure, saw its card transaction volume surge by 40 times between Q4 2024 and 2025, according to the company's co-founder and CEO, Tianwei Liu. The number of cards issued increased by 83-fold. This growth is seen as one of the fastest-growing stablecoin card programs in Southeast Asia.
