Jupiter Introduces QR Pay, Fiat Accounts, and USDC Card

• Jupiter Global brings QR payments, fiat transfers, and card spending into a single on-chain payment system.
• Stablecoins serve as the primary balance, enabling instant, zero-fee payments on local rails.
• The roadmap includes fiat off-ramps, cashback funded by yield, and direct POS integrations.

Jupiter has rolled out a new on-chain payments suite to connect blockchain-based assets with everyday financial use cases. The product, called Jupiter Global, is now live on Jupiter’s mobile application and introduces real-world payment tools that operate directly on blockchain rails while integrating with local financial systems.

The launch positions Jupiter as one of the first decentralized finance platforms to offer QR code payments, fiat transfers, and card spending through a single on-chain interface.

Jupiter Global Introduces On-Chain Payments

Jupiter Global enables users to make real-world payments using stablecoins as their primary balance. The system supports QR code payments across merchants and peer-to-peer transactions, initially targeting markets across Asia-Pacific. Transactions settle instantly and apply zero fees for both consumers and merchants, using local payment rails.

The QR Pay feature allows users to scan and pay directly from their on-chain balance, removing the need to convert funds before spending. Jupiter confirmed that stablecoins remain usable across all supported payment methods within the new Global mode.

Fiat Transfers and Multi-Currency Access

Beyond QR payments, Jupiter Global provides users with virtual fiat accounts denominated in U.S. dollars, British pounds, and euros. These accounts support international SWIFT transfers to more than 200 countries, as well as fast local payouts in over 15 currencies.

The platform also plans to introduce local fiat bank transfers with lower fees, allowing users to move funds between traditional banking systems and on-chain balances more efficiently. Multi-chain deposit support is scheduled to expand access for users moving assets into and out of Jupiter Global.

Jupiter Card and Identity Layer

Jupiter also introduced the Jupiter Card, a premium virtual crypto card that lets you spend USDC at more than 150 million merchants worldwide. The card operates on a one-to-one USDC-to-USD settlement and functions as a crypto-backed credit card rather than a prepaid debit card.

To address onboarding friction, Jupiter launched Jupiter ID, which allows users to complete identity verification once and reuse it across supported services. Jupiter stated that Global mode operates independently of its decentralized finance tools, allowing users to switch between DeFi and regulated payment functionality.

According to Jupiter, the 2026 roadmap includes cash off-ramps of up to $10,000 per transaction, real cash-back funded by yield generated on Jupiter USD balances, and direct point-of-sale integrations.
