Fuse has officially launched its Fuse Card in the United States, allowing users to spend stablecoins like USDC at any location that accepts Visa. The announcement was shared on X by the Fuse team, and Solana reposted it.

The Fuse Card is a virtual Visa card that integrates directly with the Fuse Wallet. It allows users to make payments using their stablecoin balance without needing to top up the card. Unlike many crypto cards, the Fuse Card is fully self-custodial. That means the stablecoins remain in the user’s wallet and are only moved when the card is used at the point of sale.

Self-Custody Meets Real-World Payments

The card runs on Solana and is powered by Squads Protocol. It features smart spending controls including account limits and time locks to help protect users’ balances. According to the Fuse team, this setup blends the benefits of traditional debit cards with the principles of Web3, particularly around self-custody and control.

At launch, the Fuse Card is only available to U.S. residents, though not in all states. It excludes users from New York, Florida, Alaska, and Louisiana. Additionally, the company has stated that it plans to expand availability to more regions in the future. However, it did not give a specific timeline.

A New Milestone for Fuse’s Ecosystem

The card is issued by Lead Bank and managed by Bridge Ventures, LLC. While not a bank itself, Squads Labs has built the infrastructure behind the Fuse Card product. Users are encouraged to visit the official Fuse Wallet website for more information and disclosures.

This launch marks a significant milestone for Fuse as it continues its mission to make crypto usable in everyday life. The Fuse Card is user-friendly as it removes top-up requirements and allows users maintain control over their funds.
