Despite years of global crypto transactions, mainstream adoption of crypto payments remains sluggish. Complex regulations and a lack of compliant infrastructure contribute to the slow progress, making crypto payments challenging and sometimes clunky to process.
However, the potential for crypto payments to become widely adopted is still strong. For crypto to serve as a primary payment method, it must address core user needs: intuitive crypto off-ramps, seamless client onboarding, and the ability to pay directly with crypto cards without pre-funding.
Making Crypto Payments with Debit Cards Easier
Interest in using crypto for real-world payments is high, with many users eager to obtain virtual debit cards and spend their crypto directly. Traditionally, spending crypto meant converting it into fiat, transferring it to a bank, and then using a debit card for purchases.
This card program changes this by allowing users to hold crypto in their card balance and spend it directly, with automatic conversion happening only at the point of transaction. This means users can retain the value of their crypto until they make a purchase—if they hold Bitcoin and its value rises, they keep that balance until they choose to spend. So users can spend their USDT with the help of a simple USDT API.
This approach enables seamless crypto payments for everyday expenses, from groceries to monthly bills, all directly from users’ crypto wallets.
Crypto debit cards are also convenient for cross-border transactions. For instance, travelers can use their crypto wallet to spend in local currencies, like Pesos or Yen, without additional exchange fees, simplifying payments abroad.
