Consumer-scale dollar access in markets where dollars are scarce, with USDC running quietly under the hood.
MIAMI May 7, 2026 — Figo, a stablecoin-native USD card and cross-border payments platform, is now live in 50 countries across Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Cardholders see and spend dollars; the rails underneath are USDC. The company is presenting at Consensus 2026 in Miami this week.
Figo is one of the first consumer-facing products to operate a stablecoin payments infrastructure at scale across emerging markets. Users fund their accounts in local fiat or stablecoins, hold USD-denominated balances, and transact globally with a Visa prepaid card. Cross-border transfers settle on stablecoin rails, enabling zero-cost corridors in regions historically dominated by 5–12% remittance fees.
The product is a working answer to a decade-old question in crypto: how do stablecoins actually reach the global majority? Rather than ask users to learn wallet management, gas fees, or chain selection, Figo presents a fully dollar-native experience while running on USDC infrastructure underneath.
“Stablecoins solved the technical problem years ago. The remaining problem was making them invisible to the people who need them most. A freelancer in Manila, a small business owner in Buenos Aires, a worker in Lagos — none of them want to think about blockchain. They want a card that works and dollars that hold their value. That is what we built.” Abraham Ojes, Founder and CEO, Figo
AVAILABILITY AT CONSENSUS
Figo’s founder is on the ground in Miami, May 5–7, and available for interviews on stablecoin adoption in emerging markets, the convergence of Visa and stablecoin rails, and shipping a global consumer card with a small team.
