TREE NEWS update: Coinbase will power stablecoin-backed card programs for Marqeta’s customers under an expanded partnership between the two companies. The deal builds on Marqeta’s prior work powering Coinbase’s U.S. debit card offering in 2020. No financial terms or launch date were disclosed.
Coinbase to Power Stablecoin-Backed Cards for Marqeta Customers
The significance here is distribution, not novelty: Coinbase is moving from issuing its own card to supplying stablecoin infrastructure to other companies' card programs, which puts it a layer deeper into payments plumbing. The absence of terms or a launch date leaves the commercial scale of that shift unclear. The open question is whether stablecoin-backed cards become a standard option Marqeta's customer base adopts, or remain a niche add-on.
