KAST 2025: The Year We Went Global

In just our first full year of operation, we did so much together.

We grew from a simple stablecoin solution to a full-fledged global money app—to send, spend, and save money anywhere in the world.

But that's not all. We also transcended countries, currencies, and cultures.

Whether you just joined, or been with us since the beginning, you played a role in helping us accomplish all of this and more:

We connected across continents

In 2025, we traveled all over the world—from the Americas to Asia and everywhere in between.

We participated in 50+ events such as Accelerate, Breakpoint, the Bitcoin Conference (both of them), Blockchain Rio, Crossroads, Token 2049 Dubai and Singapore, and many others.

Why? To not only meet you where you are, but to anticipate where you—and the market—were going next.

We made global travel easy

With KAST, you didn't just get a card—you got control and convenience.

As a busy professional, we made it easy for you to travel the world without worry by offering perks such as:

  • 24/7 Concierge
  • Airport pickup
  • Travel and tourism deals

...and global spend too

None of the above perks would mean anything though if you couldn't spend your stablecoins IRL.

Fortunately for us, that's not the case—your card works wherever you do.

So, whether you were on a business trip in New York, partying in Ibiza, working in Bali, or visiting Dubai, you were able to swipe and spend with ease.

We became more than a card

Although we started the year as a simple solution to spend stablecoins, we developed into a full-fledged global money app. How? By redesigning our app, adding bank-like functionality, integrating new payments methods such as Pix and SPEI, and more.

Here's what we shipped in 2025:

  • KAST Convert
  • USD virtual accounts
  • Global bank transfers
  • KAST Tags
  • MOVE cashback

We celebrated our wins

2025 gave us so much to celebrate—and we took advantage.

From yacht parties in the UAE to rooftop bars in Brazil and beyond, we drank, we danced, and we celebrated the finer things in life, like health, wealth, and happiness.

So, as we close out 2025, let's toast one last time to all that we accomplished this year and to how much more we're going to accomplish in 2026. Cheers!
