Transition Strategy and Strategic Deployment

Transition Strategy: From Web2 to Web3

To meet the growing demand for asset liquidity and convenient on-chain consumption, AP initiated a strategic transformation in 2025 and officially upgraded its infrastructure to a Web3 financial architecture. Key steps included:

  • Strategic equity acquisition in the U3 Foundation (UK) to strengthen regulated digital financial capabilities.

  • Partnership with VISA and MasterCard to co-issue the AP U-Card.

  • Obtaining an API Payment License from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to operate legally in the UK, EU, and Hong Kong.

  • Establishing seamless exchange channels between on-chain assets (e.g., USDT) and real-world currencies (USD, EUR, CNY, etc.).

These efforts have positioned AP as an active builder in the global Web3 payment infrastructure and a key bridge between crypto assets and real-world commerce.

Global Strategic Deployment

AP follows a “compliance-first, tech-neutral, ecosystem-synergized” globalization strategy, including:

  • Technology Centers in Singapore and the UK, focusing on stablecoin clearing, settlement, and payment system APIs.

  • Compliance Zones with FCA approval in the UK to ensure regulatory legitimacy.

  • Card issuance and logistics network leveraging international schemes to support U-Card delivery and usage in over 200 countries and regions.

  • Localized business development teams in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America to expand community partnerships and the affiliate network.
