Advasa Holdings (ADBT) has enabled USDC (USD Coin) payment functionality on its existing ADVASA Visa card, alongside traditional fiat payments. The upgrade builds on the company’s FUKUPE earned wage access platform, which gives employees instant access to wages via bank accounts, prepaid cards, and digital wallets.
Advasa positions USDC support as a way to increase user choice and potentially improve financial inclusion, especially in markets with limited traditional banking infrastructure. The company also plans to explore opportunities in the real-world assets (RWA) and asset tokenization sector, assessing how its payment and access technologies could be applied to this projected high‑growth market.
