Singapore-based financial institution DCS Card Centre has partnered with Visa to launch DeCard, a next-generation prepaid card that supports top-ups using both fiat currencies and stablecoins, including USDT and USDC. The card is designed to operate seamlessly across 150 million merchants worldwide, according to Foresight News.

DeCard aims to make cross-border payments more efficient and affordable.
