Avalanche Card Debuts with Accelerated Sign-Ups Across Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America
New York, New York, February 26th, 2025, Chainwire
Today, The Avalanche Foundation, in partnership with Rain, launches the Avalanche Card, a physical and digital credit card that lets users make purchases against the value of their crypto assets anywhere Visa is accepted.
The Avalanche Card enables users to spend USDC, USDT, Wrapped AVAX (wAVAX), and AVAX online or in-store. The Avalanche Card opens secure, alternative payment options to the global economy through the trusted Visa network, removing the need to navigate multiple platforms, wallets, and conversions to access and spend digital assets.
“With the Avalanche Card, your cryptocurrency is a tool for empowerment,” says John Wu, President of Ava Labs. “As digital assets garner mainstream adoption, leading with uses that are as familiar as swiping a credit card.”
The Avalanche Card makes real-world transactions seamless across borders for conversionless spending, providing a secure alternative in regions with strained banking infrastructure. In a move to double down on mainstream adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi), Avalanche remains committed to powering accessible inroads to blockchain for every type of user.
