Avalanche Card Streamlines Crypto Payments Across Three Continents

Avalanche and Rain Unveil Crypto Card for Direct Spending
Supporting USDC, USDT, Wrapped AVAX (wAVAX), and AVAX, the card allows users to make purchases online and in stores without converting crypto into fiat currency. It integrates directly with Visa’s infrastructure, eliminating the need for multiple conversion steps across wallets or exchanges.
"Cryptocurrency is a tool for empowerment," said John Wu, President of Ava Labs, highlighting the card’s role in making blockchain technology more accessible through familiar payment methods.
Targeting regions with limited banking access, the Avalanche Card provides a secure and efficient alternative for cross-border transactions. Its launch aligns with Avalanche’s broader mission to enhance decentralized finance (DeFi) utility in everyday commerce.
Rain, Avalanche’s partner in this initiative, developed the card’s authorization infrastructure, seamlessly integrating blockchain with traditional payment networks. Visa’s involvement ensures global merchant compatibility, making crypto payments more practical.
As part of its commitment to accelerating blockchain adoption, the Avalanche Foundation continues to focus on speed, scalability, and cost-effective transactions, while Rain specializes in digital asset settlement solutions.
