Advasa Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADBT) announced on September 2, 2026, that its ADVASA Visa card now features seamless payment functionality using USD Coin (USDC), alongside traditional fiat currency. This update expands the capabilities of the Company’s existing payment infrastructure and its proprietary FUKUPE Earned Wage Access (EWA) platform.
The FUKUPE platform connects earned wage access to a flexible suite of disbursement channels, including bank accounts, supported prepaid cards, and digital wallets. Advasa stated that integrating USDC payments broadens the choice and flexibility available to users and believes the expansion of digital payment options contributes to greater financial inclusion. According to the World Bank’s Global Findex 2025, approximately 1.3 billion adults worldwide remain without a financial account, while about 900 million of those adults own a mobile phone.
Looking ahead, Advasa plans to explore potential opportunities in the real-world assets (RWA) sector. The Company views RWA as a natural extension of its financial technology and payment infrastructure. The asset tokenization market has been projected to reach approximately $18.9 trillion by 2033. Advasa intends to consider how its existing technologies and experience in expanding financial access could be applied to this evolving market.
In a statement regarding the announcement, Grady Ryther, Chief Executive Officer of Advasa Holdings, Inc., noted that the addition of USDC payment functionality represents another step in expanding the payment capabilities available through the platform.
