Stablecoins settled an estimated $226 billion in B2B payments in 2025, up 733% in a year. KAST Business is built to run on that shift, for companies that earn, hire, and pay across borders.

  • The first global business operating account built stablecoin-native: accounts, cards, global transfers, cashback, and potential yields* on business balances, all on one rail, settling 24/7 across 170+ countries (availability varies by jurisdiction).

*Yields are variable, not guaranteed, and subject to eligibility and product terms.

  • Built in response to demand, with KAST's clients surveyed expressing strong interest in using KAST for business use cases.
  • More than a global USD account: global hiring and contractor payments built in, plus up to 8 to 10% savings on cloud infrastructure starting with Amazon Web Services, all from the same account and payable in stablecoins.

NEW YORK: KAST, the financial platform powered by stablecoins, today launched KAST Business for fast-growing companies that earn, hire, and pay across borders. As more businesses outgrow banking built for a single-country world, KAST Business gives them a financial system built for global reach: accounts, cards, global transfers, cashback, and access to treasury-backed yields, all in one dashboard, settling 24/7 across supported markets. Stablecoin-native rails are what make it work, enabling near-real-time settlement in many cases.

Stablecoin volume hit a record $33 trillion in 2025, exceeding Visa and Mastercard combined (Bloomberg and Artemis). Initially a means of trading, stablecoins now make up close to 60% of all real-world stablecoin payment volume in business-to-business flows, an estimated $226 billion in 2025, up 733% year on year (McKinsey and Artemis). Juniper Research expects cross-border B2B stablecoin flows to reach $5 trillion by 2035. The money behind global business is already moving onto these rails. KAST Business is built so any company can operate on these new rails.

Cross-border commerce has outgrown the infrastructure it runs on. Today's businesses earn in one market, hire in another, and pay everywhere, while legacy banking still assumes one country and one currency, and is confined to bank hours. The companies winning the next decade need both traditional and stablecoin rails, and they need a financial platform built the same way.

KAST Business is built stablecoin-native, with strong connectivity into global banking rails. By design, being stablecoin-native that makes it faster, and it reaches the places traditional fintechs won't. Founders can manage fiat virtual accounts provided by regulated partners, alongside on-chain supported assets, including BTC, ETH, and SOL, all from one dashboard, with a dedicated support team on hand 24/7.

Beyond the core account, businesses can issue cards, earn cashback, make payments to supported corridors, including via local payouts in supported locations, and unlock higher rewards on your USD spending balance through KAST Reserve. KAST Business also extends past traditional banking: companies can hire and pay contractors across borders, all settling on the same stablecoin rails. That is what makes KAST Business a stablecoin operating account rather than a business bank account. KAST Business combines on-chain efficiency with the stability of the global dollar economy in a mobile-first experience built for founders on the move.

The launch answers sustained demand, with KAST’s clients surveyed expressing strong interest in using KAST for business activity. Building on the success of its consumer platform, KAST aims to onboard 1,000 to 5,000 active businesses by the end of 2026.

Raagulan Pathy, Founder and CEO of KAST, said: "Cross-border commerce has outgrown the systems built to support it, and businesses are paying the price. The next wave of businesses will operate on rails where money moves in near real time, across borders, without waiting on a batch window. We built KAST Business for small teams and lean, globally distributed companies that are building differently, not constrained by legacy processing hours or by where their people live and work."
