Overview:
WSPN showcased WUSD at Vietnam’s largest blockchain event (5,000+ attendees), positioning it as Viction blockchain’s native stablecoin for gasless transactions. Executives emphasized WUSD’s 1:1 USD collateralization and 24/7 settlement capabilities, targeting remittance-heavy markets like Vietnam.
What this means:

2. Global Payment 1.0 Launch (1 August 2025)
Overview:
WSPN rolled out an institutional-grade API platform enabling seamless conversions between WUSD/USDT/USDC and fiat. The infrastructure handles KYB compliance, token swaps, and settlements via a single interface, targeting enterprises and fintechs.
What this means:
This reduces barriers for traditional businesses adopting crypto payments, potentially increasing WUSD’s liquidity and institutional demand. CEO Raymond Yuan noted it addresses the “last mile” of crypto-fiat interoperability. (CoinMarketCap)
3. Coins.ph Listing (18 July 2025)
Overview:
WUSD became tradable against the Philippine Peso on Coins.ph, a BSP-regulated platform with 18M+ users. The integration targets the Philippines’ $40B annual remittance market, allowing direct PHP-to-WUSD conversions.
What this means:
This expands retail accessibility in a key Southeast Asian market, reducing reliance on USD intermediaries. Real-world traction here could set a template for similar emerging economies. (PRNewswire)
Conclusion
WUSD is executing a dual strategy: courting institutions with enterprise infrastructure while capturing emerging-market remittance flows. With Vietnam and the Philippines as beachheads, the next milestone hinges on whether Southeast Asian adoption can offset stagnant 90-day price performance (-2.62%).
