Hong Kong Streets: U Directly Used as "Cash"!

Just landed in Hong Kong, an old friend from the crypto world mysteriously said: "Here, U (USDT/USDC) can be used directly as cash on the streets, it's no longer a gimmick!"

I thought it was a joke until he pulled out his card and, after binding it, paid with U at a milk tea shop in Tsim Sha Tsui in seconds. The staff operated it skillfully, as if it were the most ordinary payment method. At that moment, cryptocurrency completely jumped out of the "digital cage"—U truly became a hard currency that you can hold in your hand and spend on the streets!

In Hong Kong, from high-end restaurants in the Central financial district to trendy shops on the streets of Mong Kok, U consumption has become a daily routine in the crypto world. I witnessed a young man using a jade card to pay with U for limited edition sneakers, and when the staff handed him the receipt, saying "Crypto payment is super convenient~", it filled the everyday feeling of using "U as cash" to the brim.

What's even more impressive is that some merchants use Solayer for payments, offering additional BTC rebates—while spending U, you can also accumulate BTC for appreciation. This "consumption + investment" closed loop would make traditional payments shout in admiration!

Storing U is a guaranteed win: deposit USDC into the card and earn a stable annual return of 4%-5%. The key is that the earnings can be spent directly! While others wait for their coins to appreciate, we earn and spend U at the same time, truly a "wealth printing machine" on the go, effortlessly cashing out the earnings while spending—it's exhilarating!

Global payments with no blind spots: Backed by Visa, whether it's a Hong Kong tea restaurant, a duty-free shop in Tokyo, or a trendy store in New York, Apple Pay/Google Pay connect seamlessly. ATM withdrawals are instantly credited, with fees so low they can be ignored, traditional bank cards are completely crushed.

Asset security locked tight: The non-custodial design is so appealing, you have full control over your assets, and no longer fear platform collapses or scams. KYC certification + on-chain transparency provide a heightened sense of security, allowing for peaceful sleep.

Reverse couponing through consumption: Earn Emerald points by swiping your card, which can be exchanged for crypto airdrops, flight and hotel discounts; cardholders can enjoy a 10% discount on Nansen and participate in events to potentially score Layer tokens for free. The money spent seems to grow legs and run back into your wallet—who understands the thrill of spending more and getting richer!
