Meet the Avalanche Card: Real-World Spending for Your Crypto
Say goodbye to clunky off-ramps. With the Avalanche Card, using your assets IRL is finally seamless.
For many of us in crypto, our assets stay locked in wallets, shuffled between swaps and pools. But when it comes time to use that value in the real world, we hit a wall. Off-ramping can be tedious, expensive, and sometimes just flat-out confusing.
That’s where the Avalanche Card comes in. Designed to let you spend your crypto wherever Visa is accepted, it provides convenience without compromise. No more complex conversions or waiting games, just fund your wallet and tap, or click to pay.
What is The Avalanche Card?
The Avalanche Card is powered by Raincards, which allows you to make purchases against the value of your crypto anywhere Visa is accepted.
Raincards is a blockchain-based card issuing and stablecoin interoperability platform. With a proven track record in Latin America’s $415B digital finance transformation, they power platforms like Takenos App, Cadana Pay, Qash Latam, and Avalanche Cards.
Features
Avalanche Native: Supports USDC, USDT, AVAX, and wAVAX.
Physical and Virtual Options: You can use the physical card at a store or tap the virtual version for online shopping and bill payments.
Self-Custody: Avalanche Cards come with a self-custody wallet and a unique address per asset.
Why The Avalanche Card Matters to the Avalanche Community
Spending your crypto IRL isn't easy.
Limited Options: You have to use a CEX or an off-ramp application to convert your crypto to your local currency.
Friction: Off-ramping is rarely seamless. It can be time-consuming, risky (P2P scams), and unpredictable with rates.
Fees: Most off-ramp services charge fees that eat into your assets.
Barriers for the underbanked: Traditional banking systems are unreliable or inaccessible in many regions. The Avalanche Card provides a practical, crypto-native alternative for people historically excluded from easy financial access.
User Benefits
Empowering crypto-friendly spending: You can use them at any merchant that accepts Visa or to pay for subscriptions on popular apps. Also, there's 24/7 dedicated support when you need it.
Your Crypto, Your Rules: Spend at your convenience with instant access to your Crypto assets. You have available spend alerts, card freezing, pin changing, and other options that help you remain in complete control of your assets and ensure they are secure.
