Avalanche-Visa partnership for crypto payment card

In recent developments, Avalanche Foundation has launched its crypto-based payment card to bridge the gap between traditional and digital currencies. To support its card’s growth and adoption, the foundation has announced its partnership with Visa, a multinational payment giant headquartered in America.

According to the additional information the Avalanche-backed card has been launched in some Latin American and Caribbean markets, a user can use this card to pay for their spending to the merchants accepting Visa payments globally. 

Market experts argue that the move by Avalanche Foundation will likely help it to reach a broader number of cryptocurrency enthusiasts and there are possibilities that its token could likely mirror a surge in adoption in coming times. 

Rain Liquidity, a provider of financial technology services is the institution that offers the Avalanche Card. The launch has sparked a discussion in the wider market and experts claim that these kinds of cards enable users to spend as they used to spend with traditional payment cards. 

Following the launch of the card, John Wu, President of Ava Labs, said, “This card is a step towards making crypto more accessible for daily payments.”
