Hong Kong + Latin America dual-line linkage: Interlace deepens TradeFi exploration, promoting the integration of stablecoins into real-world business

As the application of stablecoins gradually extends from on-chain transactions to cross-border payments, corporate finance, and real-world business scenarios, the global fintech industry is ushering in a new round of infrastructure upgrades. The accelerated integration of traditional finance and digital assets, along with compliance, scalability, and practical application capabilities, is becoming a focal point of industry attention.

As a global stablecoin infrastructure platform, Interlace continues to participate in global fintech and digital asset ecosystem exchanges. Recently, Interlace participated in the Solana Fintech Soiree in Latin America, as well as exhibiting at the main venue of Hong Kong Fintech Week, engaging in industry roundtables, and hosting side events, discussing the framework and pathways for integrating digital assets into the traditional financial system with global industry partners, focusing on TradeFi, stablecoin payments, and financial infrastructure development.

Interlace set up a booth at the HKFTW main venue from November 2 to 3, showcasing its solutions in global card issuance, stablecoin infrastructure, and cross-border payments.

New Solutions for TradeFi: Reconstructing Cross-Border Trade Settlement with On-Chain Infrastructure

On November 6, a closed-door salon co-hosted by Interlace and Qing Lion Securities gathered professionals from the digital asset, fintech, and traditional finance sectors to explore new opportunities brought by the integration of traditional finance and digital assets.

Interlace Global Business VP Ryan shared insights on the TradeFi theme. He stated that TradeFi is not simply about moving traditional trade finance onto the blockchain, but rather leveraging the transparency, efficiency, and programmability of DeFi, combined with stablecoins, real-world assets (RWA), and on-chain financial infrastructure, to optimize cross-border trade settlement and financing processes, building an infrastructure system that connects on-chain transactions with trade finance services.

Examples like Tether TradeFi applying USDT to financing and settlement related to commodities such as crude oil and copper indicate that the application of digital assets is gradually extending from on-chain transactions to real trade and corporate operations. The infrastructure that connects liquidity, financial institutions, and the needs of real businesses will become an important support for the development of TradeFi.

This aligns with the long-term business direction that Interlace has been deeply engaged in. Interlace focuses on card issuance infrastructure as its core capability, helping clients such as exchanges, wallets, fintech platforms, brokerages, and financial institutions quickly launch their own branded card projects within weeks through API and white-label solutions, supporting customized card designs, virtual and physical cards, Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and flexible card project configurations. Currently, Interlace's cumulative card issuance has surpassed 10 million cards.

Beyond Payment Efficiency: The Essence of Stablecoin's "Last Mile" is Trust Structure

In addition to the salon event, Interlace was also invited to participate in various ecosystem activities such as WIDTH and Dashcoin, engaging with industry partners on stablecoin payment implementation, digital asset commercialization, and long-term value discussions.

Among these, the practical challenges of stablecoin payments became an important discussion direction. Interlace CMO Eva shared her understanding of this issue at the WIDTH roundtable: For enterprises and financial institutions, while payment efficiency and cost are certainly important, what truly determines whether they can adopt it at scale also includes compliance boundaries, bank connections, risk management, and clear accountability. Technology can solve the problem of how funds flow, but the trust structure determines whether enterprises are willing to genuinely use this system.

Therefore, stablecoin infrastructure not only needs to bridge on-chain and traditional financial networks but also needs to integrate technology into user-friendly financial experiences. By adopting a Fiat-First approach, integrating complex blockchain processes in the background, and allowing users to complete payments, receipts, and fund management in familiar ways, is an important direction for promoting stablecoins into mainstream business scenarios.

In the Dashcoin-related roundtable, discussions further extended to the long-term value and commercialization paths of Web3 projects. In the face of a constantly changing market environment, while technological innovation is certainly important, whether a project can respond to real needs, form sustainable product applications, and establish connections with the real business system is also an important dimension for measuring long-term value.

From industry discussions to practical applications, stablecoin payment scenarios are also continuously expanding. In response to the increasingly diverse payment needs of enterprises and users, Interlace continues to explore new product applications based on its core businesses of card issuance, corporate accounts, and cross-border payments. For example, Scan to Pay connects stablecoin payments with local QR code networks, allowing users to complete payments with stablecoins while merchants receive payments in local currency; addressing the emerging payment needs brought by AI Agents, Interlace launched the Agent Card, exploring fund permission management and transaction traceability in self-service payment scenarios, providing payment support for emerging business needs such as SaaS, API, and AI subscriptions.

From basic payment and card issuance services to product innovations aimed at emerging scenarios, Interlace is continuously improving its infrastructure capabilities based on market demand, enabling stablecoins to integrate into real business activities in a more natural and convenient way.

From the Main Venue to the Global Ecosystem: Perfecting Stablecoin Payment Infrastructure

In addition to industry activities during Hong Kong Fintech Week, Interlace also continues to participate in global digital asset ecosystem events. On October 30, Interlace appeared at the Solana Fintech Soiree held in Latin America, engaging with Superteam AR and Solana ecosystem partners to further expand connections with local fintech and blockchain ecosystems.

From the on-chain financial ecosystem in Latin America to industry dialogues and product showcases at Hong Kong Fintech Week, Interlace continues to connect financial institutions and the Web3 ecosystem across different countries, exploring the application of stablecoins in global payment and business scenarios.

As digital assets accelerate their integration into the traditional economic system, the industry needs not only more efficient funding channels but also infrastructure that can meet compliance requirements, connect global financial networks, and serve real business needs. Interlace will continue to enhance its capabilities in card issuance, global payments, and enterprise-level financial services, promoting stablecoins from on-chain flows to broader real-world applications.
