Coinbase, a key US-based cryptocurrency exchange and wallet service, unveiled its Visa debit card in the UK on April 10. The card permits Coinbase users to carryout purchases with cryptocurrencies from their Coinbase accounts. To finish a purchase, Coinbase exchanges client’s cryptocurrencies into fiat currency for a predetermined fee.
Cryptocurrency debit card offerings have seen considerably growth this year. In June 2019, the Litecoin Foundation unveiled its plans to introduce a physical crypto debit card in collaboration with Bibox Exchange and blockchain firm Terino. Again in June, Crypterium, a crypto payment company, headed by ex-Visa executive Steven Parket, vouched that it disbursed 4,000 crypto debit cards within a week from the card’s launch.
