Gate has teamed up with Visa to roll out a new crypto-linked card, broadening the real-world utility of digital currencies in everyday purchases and international trade. Set to debut across more than 40 markets globally, the card lets users make both online and in-store purchases using digital assets wherever Visa is accepted, bridging their Gate accounts with everyday commerce.
Whenever a customer pays with the Gate-issued crypto card, the necessary digital tokens are automatically converted into fiat currency at the register, funding daily expenses such as shopping, travel, and dining. Card applications, management, and related payment features are all housed within the Gate app. Full details regarding eligibility, supported regions, compatible assets, and availability can be viewed directly on the product page.
Visa’s massive worldwide payments network reaches over 175 million merchant locations across more than 200 countries and territories. By pairing its digital asset ecosystem with Visa’s infrastructure, Gate allows customers to spend their crypto across a much wider commercial footprint. The broader industry is seeing surging interest as well, with upwards of 160 stablecoin-linked Visa card programs currently active worldwide and transaction volumes surging by nearly 200% year-over-year.
This initiative leverages Gate’s robust multi-asset ecosystem and large existing user base. Established in 2013, the platform caters to over 61 million customers, offering trading in more than 5,300 digital assets and 12,800 stock assets, alongside traditional finance (TradFi) products covering commodities, forex, indices, stocks, and metals. Having been an early adopter of 100% Proof of Reserves, Gate utilizes its diverse product suite and widespread adoption to seamlessly push digital currencies into daily transaction environments.
Additionally, Gate has officially introduced Gate Money, a comprehensive financial application built directly into the Gate app that integrates fiat money, digital assets, equities, gold, ETFs, payments, and bank accounts. Qualified users can apply online for a personalized global bank account, allowing them to handle deposits, transfers, currency conversions, and payments from a single dashboard. The new Visa card ties these Gate account balances directly into global payment networks, augmenting Gate Money’s utility for daily spending. Users can currently access Gate Money by upgrading the Gate App to version 8.39.0.
Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han stated: “Digital assets are gradually becoming part of everyday financial life. This partnership with Visa connects the digital asset accounts Gate users already know with a broad range of commercial scenarios, making digital asset payments more intuitive and better aligned with everyday needs. As the service launches across more than 40 countries and territories, we aim to give users greater flexibility in how they use their assets and further expand the practical use of digital assets in global commerce.”
Nischint Sanghavi, Head of Digital Currencies for APAC at Visa, remarked: “Consumers want payment methods that are flexible, convenient, and widely accepted. Visa is committed to working with partners to expand payment choices and connect new forms of value to established digital payments infrastructure. Through our partnership with Gate, we look forward to enabling more users to use digital assets wherever Visa is accepted, further enriching their everyday payment experience.”
Over recent years, digital assets have seen growing adoption in practical applications like retail purchases, cross-border trade, and everyday payments. By linking user accounts directly to Visa’s payment rails, crypto cards deliver a streamlined and intuitive way to spend digital holdings, serving as a vital bridge into routine economic transactions.
