LAS VEGAS, Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc.

The Company also intends to explore becoming an issuer of crypto-linked debit and credit cards, further enhancing its ability to serve merchants and consumers across traditional and blockchain-based payment ecosystem.

With the ongoing evolution of global payments, IPSI recognizes a significant market opportunity to bridge the gap between legacy payment rails and next-generation crypto payment networks. By integrating crypto acceptance into existing POS infrastructure, IPSI aims to enable merchants to seamlessly accept payments in digital assets, such as stablecoins or other cryptocurrencies, while receiving instant settlement in U.S. dollars or local fiat currency.

“Our goal is to remove the barriers that prevent merchants from adopting digital payments,” said William D.

As part of its broader fintech strategy, IPSI will evaluate opportunities to issue crypto credit and debit cards, giving consumers the flexibility to use digital assets for everyday purchases, while merchants receive immediate settlement in fiat currency. The Company believes this hybrid approach will accelerate mainstream adoption of digital assets by making crypto spending as easy and intuitive as traditional card transactions.

“We see a unique opportunity to act as a bridge between the two worlds of finance,” added Corbett. “Whether a customer pays with dollars, pesos, or digital tokens, IPSI’s goal is to make the experience seamless, instant, and trusted.”
