Blockchain.com Launches Crypto Visa Card
Blockchain.com joins the ranks of Crypto.com and Bitso as it announces the launch of a crypto-loadable, pre-paid Visa card. According to the announcement on Wednesday, Blockchain.com Visa users can “spend from a crypto balance fee-free and offer the opportunity to earn crypto rewards.”
Moreover, 50,000 registered users have already signed up for the company’s new crypto payments card. “As one of the crypto industry’s oldest and most trusted platforms, we’re excited to roll out the natural next step to make crypto easy to use in the real world and accessible to as many people as possible,” Blockchain.com’s CEO Peter Smith said in a statement sent to Bitcoin.com News on Wednesday.
Smith said:
As we create the future of finance, this is an excellent example of how digital assets can make a difference in the financial sector.
Blockchain.com’s Visa card announcement follows the firm’s multi-year partnership deal with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. The company previously inked a deal with the entire Dallas Cowboys team in mid-April becoming the NFL team’s “exclusive digital asset partner.”
During the announcement on Wednesday, Cuy Sheffield, the head of Visa’s crypto unit, explained that the payments giant believes if crypto adoption is to continue to swell, mainstream finance solutions like cards help bolster that effort.
“At Visa, we believe for crypto adoption to grow, it’s critical for it to be easily accepted everywhere,” Sheffield said in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with leading crypto wallets and exchanges like Blockchain.com to unlock more ways consumers can use their crypto for everyday purchases.”
