KuCoin, a prominent global crypto exchange, has partnered with VISA to launch the innovative KuCard. This physical debit card, available to users in the European Economic Zone, heralds a new era of convenience for crypto enthusiasts. It enables seamless spending of cryptocurrencies, starting with USDT and euros, at any VISA-accepting outlet, heralding a fusion of digital and traditional payment methods.
The KuCard, functioning with both Apple Pay and Google Pay, offers unprecedented flexibility for cryptocurrency expenditures directly from KuCoin accounts. Accompanying this launch, KuCoin has introduced a bonus campaign, incentivizing users to top up their Euro balances and use the KuCard, further entrenching its commitment to enhancing the crypto spending experience.
To obtain a KuCard, users must complete KYC requirements, including Proof of Address and mobile phone number verification. With a fee of €9.99, the card can be personalized and issued swiftly after application approval. While the card’s current limitation to USDT and its unavailability to American residents are notable, its potential in transforming crypto transactions is immense.
KuCoin’s KuCard represents a significant leap in bridging the gap between crypto and fiat, underscoring the expanding utility and real-world adoption of cryptocurrencies. As crypto integrates more seamlessly into daily life, KuCoin stands at the forefront of this evolutionary financial journey.
