Nubank to explore stablecoin integration for its credit cards

Nubank charges into crypto—plans to integrate stablecoins with credit cards.

Breaking the Bank Mold

Brazil's digital banking giant shakes up traditional finance—exploring how stablecoins could transform everyday spending. No more waiting for bank transfers or swallowing hefty forex fees.

Why It Matters

Stablecoin integration means faster settlements, lower costs, and borderless transactions. Customers might soon pay, save, and borrow without touching volatile crypto—just dollar-pegged digital cash.

The Bigger Picture

Banks finally waking up to what crypto natives knew years ago—traditional finance moves at a snail's pace while digital assets rewrite the rules. Another brick in the wall of legacy banking just crumbled.

Nubank’s history with blockchain and crypto

Since entering the digital asset space in 2022, when it launched crypto trading for its more than 100 million customers across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, Nubank has consistently introduced new offerings.

Back in March, the neo bank expanded its portfolio once again, introducing Cardano, Cosmos, Near Protocol, and Algorand to its platform. Earlier in the year, Nubank started offering 4% annual return on USDC holdings to become one of the first major banks in the region to integrate stablecoin yields into everyday banking apps.
