Gate Group, the company behind the popular exchange Gate.io, plans to launch a European crypto debit card to expand its reach to European countries. Users can seamlessly convert and spend their crypto assets with the card in everyday purchases.
One of the factors that push adoption in the crypto space is continuous developments. As each firm operating in the sector expands its reach to different countries, more users will join the industry, increasing knowledge and eventual adoption.
Gate.io Debit Card To Push Adoption
Gate Group plans to launch the card with the support of its Lithuania-based company Gate Global UAB. According to a Twitter post, the card will enable users to complete crypto-to-fiat conversions for online and in-store purchases.
It will make the process faster and more secure, enabling the holders to buy from up to 80 million merchants that support Visa worldwide. Also, users can control their spending with the card app offering user-friendly features to manage and track expenditures on the go.
While writing about the latest development, the Gate Group Founder and CEO, Dr. Lin Han, stated that the card would enable Gate.io users to make easy crypto payments to thousands of merchants worldwide. He went further to state that the card bridges the gap between crypto and the everyday lives of its users, promoting broader financial inclusion for them.
