As cross-border digital payments surge worldwide, KAST’s new KAST Pay and Global Payouts features aim to solve one of fintech’s biggest bottlenecks: moving money instantly between crypto and traditional banking rails.
KAST, the stablecoin-powered financial platform used in more than 150 countries, has launched KAST Pay alongside new Global Payouts capabilities, advancing its mission to build a seamless bridge between crypto and traditional finance. The update allows users to convert, transfer, and spend funds instantly across both crypto and fiat channels, creating an end-to-end solution for freelancers, global earners, and everyday users managing money across borders.
KAST Pay introduces instant, zero-fee transfers between KAST users via phone number, email, or KAST Tag, while also enabling transfers to local and international bank accounts. Users can now receive USD directly into the app, with more currencies and corridors expected to follow. For customers working across multiple geographies, this creates a single hub for digital earnings, peer-to-peer payments, and bank withdrawals.
The new Global Payouts feature deepens this functionality by connecting KAST accounts to a worldwide settlement network covering more than 125 countries. Stablecoins can be cashed out directly into local bank accounts, with conversions handled through a licensed FX partner. All payouts include transparent exchange rates, fees, and settlement timelines, serving as an increasingly important standard in times when global remittances and digital commerce expand.
These advancements arrive at a critical moment for the fintech and payments industry. According to industry estimates, stablecoin settlement volume exceeded $10 trillion in 2024, surpassing the transaction volume of major card networks.
Meanwhile, the broader cross-border payments market is projected to reach $290 trillion by 2030, driven by freelancers, digital marketplaces, and international small businesses. As these sectors rely heavily on real-time data streaming for fraud detection, FX routing, and liquidity management, platforms like KAST signal how stablecoin rails and instant data flows can reshape global financial infrastructure.
KAST’s rollout underscores a shift toward faster, more transparent, and borderless money movement within one app designed to let users earn globally, spend locally, and control when and how they move their funds.
