What Is a Crypto Card?

Report: Cryptocurrency Credit Cards - Behind the Numbers

A crypto-backed card connects a crypto wallet, provided by a cryptocurrency exchange like Crypto.com or Coinbase, to an issuing and payment processing platform. Crypto cards enable cardholders to make payments in person and digitally by transacting through conventional payment networks like Visa and Mastercard.

These innovative programs offer consumer and commercial cardholders a number of benefits, such as reduced or waived foreign conversion fees, near real-time transactions, rewards, and multi-currency/multi-purse features that allow them to move seamlessly between cryptocurrencies and fiat in a secure and compliant fashion.
