Lightspark Unveils Cards Playground for Branded Visa Debit-Cards

Lightspark has launched a developer tool called Cards Playground, which allows companies and developers to create branded Visa debit-card programs tied to dollar, stablecoin or Bitcoin (BTC) balances. This expansion of Lightspark's payments infrastructure for digital-asset accounts enables users to create card designs, provision cards, connect them to digital wallets, and test transactions.

The Cards Playground provides an entry point to card, account, and stablecoin infrastructure through a single integration. According to CEO David Marcus, 'We're building the best stablecoin-backed card issuance platform in partnership with our friends at Visa.'

The card product supports virtual and physical Visa debit cards linked to customer Global Account balances, which can include Bitcoin (BTC), stablecoins, or dollars. When a card is used, balances are converted into local currency.
