Avalanche Card Sees Rapid Adoption for Everyday Spending with Visa

New York — The Avalanche Foundation, in partnership with Rain, has unveiled the Avalanche Card—a physical and digital payment card that allows users to seamlessly spend their crypto anywhere Visa® is accepted.

Designed for both online and in-store transactions, the Avalanche Card supports USDC, USDT, Wrapped AVAX (wAVAX), and AVAX. By integrating directly with Visa’s trusted payment network, the card eliminates the friction of multiple wallets, conversions, and third-party platforms, making crypto spending as intuitive as traditional banking.
“The Avalanche Card transforms cryptocurrency from a digital asset into a real-world financial tool. As mainstream adoption accelerates, familiar payment experiences like swiping a card will be key to bridging the gap.”

The launch underscores Avalanche’s broader mission to drive blockchain adoption through real-world applications. As a high-speed, low-latency blockchain, Avalanche is built for developers who need scalable, efficient infrastructure. Its customizable architecture and near-instant transaction finality support a growing ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps) and interoperable layer-1 blockchains.

Backed by a global network of validators, Avalanche provides a low-cost, high-performance environment that fuels the next generation of Web3 innovation.

Expanding Financial Access Through Crypto-Powered Payments

With built-in conversionless spending, the Avalanche Card offers a secure, borderless alternative—particularly in regions with limited banking access. The initiative aligns with the Avalanche Foundation’s commitment to expanding decentralized finance (DeFi) accessibility.

As a non-profit dedicated to the ecosystem’s growth, the foundation provides funding, programs, and resources to empower developers, entrepreneurs, and users in building the future of blockchain.

Rain, a key partner in the launch, specializes in digital asset authorization, settlement infrastructure, and payment solutions. By integrating blockchain technology with traditional finance, Rain bridges the gap between digital assets and everyday payments, ensuring seamless transactions for users worldwide.
