KAST launches 24/7 stablecoin business account for global firms

KAST launched KAST Business on Sept. 1, 2026. The platform uses stablecoin rails to provide 24/7 business accounts, cards, global transfers, contractor payroll and cashback in more than 170 countries.

KAST Business combines on-chain assets and fiat virtual accounts in a single dashboard so companies can view balances, manage cards and move funds at any hour. The platform supports settlement in stablecoins and on-chain assets including BTC, ETH and SOL. Regulated partner banks provide fiat virtual accounts and local payouts in jurisdictions where they operate.

Features include issued cards with cashback, global transfers to supported corridors, contractor payroll tools and access to treasury-backed yields on USD balances. KAST says yields are variable, not guaranteed and subject to eligibility and product terms. The company also offers KAST Reserve, a mechanism that it says can increase rewards on USD spending balances.

Industry estimates put business-to-business stablecoin payments at about $226 billion in 2025, a year-on-year increase of roughly 733%. Total stablecoin payment volume reached an estimated $33 trillion in 2025. Analysts expect cross-border B2B stablecoin flows to expand further in the coming decade.

KAST describes the product as an “operating account” rather than a bank account. The company operates as a financial technology firm; regulated services on the platform are delivered through licensed partner institutions. Product features and availability vary by jurisdiction and are subject to eligibility, ongoing due diligence and local regulations.

The platform includes partnerships that offer cloud infrastructure discounts of up to 8–10% on providers such as Amazon Web Services, payable in stablecoins. KAST aims to onboard between 1,000 and 5,000 active businesses by the end of 2026. Its consumer platform already serves more than one million users for cross-border transfers and currency conversion.

Raagulan Pathy, KAST’s founder and CEO, commented in a statement: “Cross-border commerce has outgrown the systems built to support it, and businesses are paying the price. The next wave of businesses will operate on rails where money moves in near real time, across borders, without waiting on a batch window. We built KAST Business for small teams and lean, globally distributed companies that are building differently, not constrained by legacy processing hours or by where their people live and work.”
