Interlace, a leader in agentic payment and stablecoin infrastructure, is building the next-generation digital financial foundation. The platform integrates stablecoin payments, enterprise digital banking, asset management, virtual card issuance, and AI-powered payment tools into a single system, aiming to bridge traditional and crypto finance. In 2026, it launched Agent Card and Scan to Pay to advance digital asset adoption and expand the use of AI payment solutions. These new tools also support digital collectibles and enable new stablecoin spending use cases.

With cross-border payments, on-chain transactions, and the entry of mainstream financial institutions, stablecoins are accelerating their transition from a “niche” to a mainstream payment system, while the rise of AI agents is making machine-driven autonomous spending a reality for the first time. In the past, crypto finance, global payments, and corporate fund management have long been fragmented: on-chain assets struggled to support real-world spending scenarios, corporate cross-border cash flows were complex and inefficient, and AI agents lacked controllable and secure payment capabilities.

As a leading global stablecoin infrastructure platform, Interlace enables stablecoins to truly transition from "on-chain assets" to "everyday payments" by building a global payment network and stablecoin infrastructure, allowing digital assets to move seamlessly within the traditional financial world and enhancing corporate cash flow efficiency and scope. By integrating stablecoin payments, corporate digital banking, corporate asset management, virtual card issuance, and AI-powered payment capabilities into a unified infrastructure, Interlace has constructed a global financial network connecting traditional and crypto finance.

In 2026, Interlace expanded its AI payment and stablecoin spending use cases by launching two new products: Agent Card and Scan to Pay. Moving forward, Interlace will continue to invest in Agentic Payment and stablecoin infrastructure, enhancing its enterprise-grade financial infrastructure capabilities to effectively respond to the new global competitive landscape.

1. Next-generation payment network

As AI agents and stablecoin payments rapidly advance, payment systems are evolving from traditional card networks into a new type of payment network encompassing intelligent agents, on-chain funds, and global real-time settlement.

On one hand, an increasing number of AI companies are beginning to enable agents to autonomously call APIs, procure cloud resources, and manage automated workflows; on the other hand, stablecoins are gradually moving from on-chain assets into real-world consumption scenarios.

Interlace is building payment infrastructure better suited for next-generation business models around agentic payments and stablecoin payments.

Agent Card: A payment card designed for AI agents

Assign dedicated virtual cards: Allocate independent virtual cards to each AI Agent, supporting Visa/Mastercard networks for payments across multiple scenarios such as cloud service subscriptions, advertising spend, API calls, travel, and procurement.

Developer-friendly: With Interlace Agent Card Skills, integrate payment capabilities into Claude, ChatGPT, or your custom Agent framework without writing complex integration code or building payment workflows.

Adapted for AI-native workflows: Supports AI Agents to automatically complete SaaS renewals, cloud resource procurement, service calls, and task execution, extending the payment system from serving users to serving Agents.

Scan to Pay: Stablecoin QR Code Payment

Currently, stablecoins are transitioning from being a medium of exchange to becoming part of real-world consumption systems. In particular, in cross-border travel, digital service spending, and global merchant scenarios, stablecoins are gradually shifting from being held assets to everyday payment tools.

Interlace's Scan to Pay provides local QR code payment capabilities for exchanges, wallets, OTC desks, and other financial institutions, enabling them to quickly integrate into consumer environments and offline payment networks in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, bringing on-chain assets into everyday commercial use.

4Blockchain Financial Infrastructure and Compliance Assurance

One of Interlace's core businesses is building a seamless bridge between traditional finance and crypto assets. For enterprises, the real challenge is not owning crypto assets, but how to enter the global financial system securely and compliantly.

On/Off Ramp: Cryptocurrency Fiat On-Ramp and Off-Ramp

Global compliance strategy: Holds financial licenses in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, and other regions, and continues to expand its global licensing footprint.

5Asset Management and Integrated Financial Ecosystem

As the global funds network gradually moves on-chain, enterprises' demand for financial infrastructure is evolving from standalone payment tools to an integrated system encompassing fund storage, spending, transfer, and yield management. Previously fragmented banking accounts, payment systems, stablecoin wallets, and card issuance capabilities are increasingly being unified into a single global funds network.

Interlace is building financial infrastructure better suited for global enterprises and next-generation internet business models, centered around corporate treasury management and an integrated financial ecosystem.

Yield Treasury: Flexible corporate fund growth and allocation

As corporate funds become increasingly globalized and on-chain, they are no longer just stored in accounts or wallets but are also taking on multiple roles such as liquidity management, spending, and yield generation. Interlace is addressing corporate fund efficiency by launching the Yield Treasury product, helping businesses build more flexible treasury capabilities.

Put idle funds to work: Enable enterprise accounts to participate in wealth management, with yields of up to 4%, helping businesses improve capital efficiency.

Unified fund management: Enterprises can manage fiat currency, stablecoins, and investment accounts on a single platform, reducing the complexity of cross-platform fund allocation.

Real-time fund allocation: Enables enterprises to flexibly allocate funds according to payment, procurement, and operational needs, simultaneously optimizing fund utilization and yield management.

An increasing number of global enterprises are now managing both on-chain and off-chain assets simultaneously, and treasury management is evolving from static accounts to dynamic capital networks. Interlace Yield Treasury enables every unit of capital to continuously generate value as it flows.

One-stop financial ecosystem

In the past, businesses often had to integrate with banks, payment institutions, exchanges, wallets, and card issuers simultaneously, resulting in complex and fragmented fund pathways. Interlace connects diverse funding scenarios across a business’s global operations through a unified financial infrastructure.

Unified Accounts and Simplified Reconciliation: Deeply integrate global enterprise accounts, multi-currency receipts and payments, stablecoin transfers, and card issuance capabilities to eliminate platform switching and minimize accounting and financial costs.

Full-scenario API capabilities: Provide a comprehensive set of standardized APIs for acquiring, issuing, wallets, and fund management, enabling enterprises and platforms to integrate quickly without building complex underlying financial systems.

Mature global services: Leveraging this infrastructure, Interlace's operations span over 180 countries and regions, with more than 7 million cards issued, serving over 12,000 enterprises and boasting more than 160 active API customers, fully empowering AI companies, Web3 teams, global SaaS platforms, and cross-border e-commerce.

AI and stablecoins are reshaping the global financial infrastructure

As AI agents and stablecoin payments rapidly advance, an increasing number of transactions in the future will occur between AI agents and services, on-chain and off-chain, and within global real-time payment networks.

Payment systems are also evolving from traditional card networks into a new financial infrastructure encompassing stablecoins, smart agents, global settlement, and programmable cash flows.

For AI companies, Web3 teams, and global enterprises, the focus is no longer just on payments themselves, but on:

Can an AI agent consume safely?

Can stablecoins be used in real-world commercial scenarios?

Can enterprises centrally manage on-chain and off-chain funds?

But the long-awaited mass adoption in the crypto industry may not arrive in a more complex form. Instead, it is more likely to gradually integrate into the global business network in a more natural, seamless, and even invisible way.

From Agent Card and Scan to Pay, to global card issuance, stablecoin deposits and withdrawals, and API-driven financial capabilities, Interlace is connecting bank accounts, payment systems, and on-chain asset networks to build the infrastructure layer underlying this new financial system.
