Stella Pay X VeBetter Proposal: 200 B3TR Incentive for the First 5,000 Cardholders!
VeBetter, the sustainability app platform powered by the $B3TR token, is more than just a blockchain ecosystem — it’s a Web3 lifestyle platform, and part of our push toward mass adoption of blockchain applications with real utility and impact.
A core part of VeBetter’s adoption strategy is delivering a seamless user journey that allows Web2 native users benefit from blockchain/crypto without having to deal with any of the technicalities. We recently saw a key development unfold there in the form of the Stella Pay integration – a Visa Card that allows you to spend $B3TR, $VET and $VTHO at 130 million+ retailers across the world.
To encourage greater adoption of Stella Pay and celebrate this momentous milestone with the community, VeChain recently launched a VeBetter proposal to introduce a one-time B3TR reward for new card holders. We’re pleased to see the proposal passed quorum and has now entered into effect.
Accordingly, the first 5,000 users who activate a Stella Pay Visa card will receive 200 B3TR tokens, delivered directly to their Stella account!
How It Works
1. 💳 Open a Stella Pay Visa card account and complete the one-time $30 activation fee, paid in stablecoins.
2. 🔁 VeChain Foundation transfers B3TR rewards to Stella each month based on new user sign-ups.
3. 🎯 Between the 10th to 20th, 200 B3TR is deposited directly into each user’s Stella account directly — no action needed.
Note: This is a limited, one-time reward — once 5,000 eligible users receive their B3TR, the initiative ends.
Taking Web3 Mainstream
As the governance and incentive token of VeBetterDAO, $B3TR empowers users to vote, endorse dApps, and earn rewards by performing sustainable actions using various apps in the ecosystem.
By pairing B3TR with the Stella Pay Visa card, users can instantly convert blockchain rewards into real-world spending power — from coffee shops and online stores to global travel and everyday purchases.
Alongside other core technologies like fee delegation and social log ins, we’re building infrastructure that feels as intuitive as the internet, but with the benefits and rewards of blockchain.
Show Us What You Got!
In the coming weeks, we will announce details of a bounty contest to see who can use their Stella Pay Visa card in the most fun/imaginative/unique ways — imaginative/fun ways.
Get those creative juices flowing and be sure to follow our official X page for more details!

Making Web3 Invisible
As outlined in our Web3 for Better whitepaper, one of VeChain’s core strategic objectives is making blockchain technology functional and accessible to the masses, helping onboard the next billion users to Web3.
Key to that is delivering engaging, rewarding applications that resonate with Web2 users. A critical component of our strategy is abstracting the technical complexity that has traditionally limited adoption of blockchain.
The Stella Pay integration completes VeChain’s user journey transformation.
Frictionless Onboarding: Account abstraction and social logins remove technical barriers to entering the ecosystem by presenting users with a familiar ‘username, password’ set up — with enhanced security and recoverability of accounts.
Incentivized Engagement: B3TR tokens reward sustainable actions through X-2-Earn applications that gamify sustainability challenges. This low barrier to entry, and easy accessibility, makes adoption of the technology more seamless.
Simple Spending: Stella Pay cards let users spend earned $B3TR tokens like a traditional currency, creating a more intuitive way to make use of the rewards generated. For more crypto native users, $VET and $VTHO token integrations expand their usability.
This three-part strategy makes blockchain’s “blockchain-ness” invisible and opens the doors for mainstream users without technical knowledge.
We’re delivering a platform where technology becomes the silent enabler rather than a visible complexity — exactly as it needs to be.
Built on Foundations of Compliance and Security
This integration sees VeChain continue to expand based on our unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance. The recent MiCAR confirmation of the $VET and $VTHO tokens demonstrates a proactive approach that continues to bear fruit.
By embracing Europe’s unified regulatory environment, VeChain offers a stable, trusted foundation necessary for integrations with traditional financial infrastructure. Stella Pay’s secure platform, combined with VeChainThor’s enterprise-grade blockchain technology, ensures users can confidently spend their B3TR tokens with the security and convenience expected from a world leading blockchain platform.
In an industry often plagued by regulatory uncertainty, VeChain continues to lead by example, proving that compliance and innovation can advance hand-in-hand.
From Digital Tokens to Real-World Spending
The VeChain x Stella Pay partnership delivers what many in Web3 have long envisioned — the ability to spend digital assets seamlessly in everyday life. B3TR token holders can now access virtual Visa cards, transforming sustainability rewards earned through VeBetterDAO into spendable currency at millions of retail locations worldwide.
This is the completion of a powerful flywheel that makes blockchain truly accessible to everyone:
Earn B3TR tokens through sustainability actions in VeBetterDAO’s X-2-Earn applications
Hold and grow your digital assets within the ecosystem
Spend B3TR directly via Stella Pay’s Visa card solutions, both online and in-store
The integration removes the final barrier separating blockchain rewards from everyday utility, eliminating complicated exchange processes and multi-step conversions. Your B3TR tokens become as practical and usable as traditional currency, opening an entirely new dimension of utility for the VeBetterDAO ecosystem.
The Road Ahead: Unlocking The Next Billion
With $B3TR and Stella Pay, what was once aspirational is now operational — a Web3 ecosystem where blockchain technology fades into the background while its benefits move to the forefront. Theoretical blockchain benefits have evolved into a practical, everyday utility that anyone can experience without specialized knowledge.
This integration represents a critical milestone in our Renaissance initiative, which is redesigning VeChainThor as the protocol built for mass adoption. By connecting sustainable actions directly to spendable rewards, we’re demonstrating how blockchain can create value for everyday users without requiring them to understand the underlying technology.
The upcoming Hayabusa and Intergalactic phases will build upon this foundation by expanding developer capabilities while maintaining seamless user experiences. This dual focus creates optimal conditions for global adoption — where blockchain’s value is apparent, but its complexity remains invisible.
Ready to Spend?
The B3TR Visa card is now available for all VeBetterDAO users — you can get yours, here!
The sign-up process takes minutes, and within days, you’ll be tapping your card at grocery checkouts, restaurants, and millions of retail locations worldwide.
Already have your card? Share your experience with us! Tag us on socials and show us how you’re using your sustainability rewards in the real world.
Let’s build the new world, together.

VeChain Financial Report — Q4 2024
VeChain Financial Report — Q4 2024
Dear Community,
The closing quarter of 2024 marked both the culmination of a transformative year and the springboard for VeChain’s next evolution. As we share our financial performance and strategic initiatives, we reaffirm our commitment to the transparency that has guided us since our public blockchain launched in 2017.
This pivotal quarter laid the groundwork for VeChain’s significant advancements in early 2025. Substantial progress was made in implementing our VeChain Renaissance initiative — our strategic roadmap for mainstream blockchain adoption. Behind the scenes, the team finalized preparations for major milestones, including our MiCAR compliance submission and USDGLO stablecoin integration, which have now successfully launched.
With governments increasingly focused on the regulatory aspects of digital assets, the outlook for crypto markets continues to improve considerably. The approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier in 2024, combined with our recent MiCAR compliance achievement, highlights an understanding and willingness to establish frameworks for these new asset classes.
In this evolving environment, VeChain’s foundation — built on real-world applications, sustainable incentive models, and regulatory foresight — positions our ecosystem to thrive as Web3 adoption accelerates across industries and borders. Alongside this strong foundation, financial resilience powers our ability to execute at scale.
Our treasury value of $454,378,261.73 at the end of Q4 2024 — a 57.8% increase from Q3 — reflects market confidence and disciplined management. This enhanced position ensures we can fully execute Renaissance innovations while maintaining the stability needed for long-term ecosystem development in an increasingly receptive global market.
As we continue into 2025, we are confident in maintaining a treasury that enables a long fiscal runway, giving us the resources and flexibility to methodically build toward our defining vision: mass adoption of blockchain technology for the betterment of business, society, and our planet.
Thank you for being an integral part of the VeChain community and supporting us while we support you.
Sincerely,
VeChain Foundation
