Breaking news for people who love cryptocurrency, free stuff, and using words like “fiat” so they sound sophisticated at brunch: Coinbase is launching their Coinbase One Card with American Express, rolling in this fall like a pumpkin spice latte you can tap to pay. 🍂💳
Here’s the spin: up to 4% Bitcoin cashback for spending money (addictive!), ZERO trading fees (except for a tiny lil’ spread, because capitalism), and a cool factor previously reserved for guys who skateboard to work.
According to the site (which absolutely knows you’ll sign up for early access after this paragraph), you get notified when applications open. Congrats—you’re officially in a crypto waiting room, which is basically a velvet rope for nerds.
No foreign transaction fees, and you can pay your balance from your bank or with crypto. Pay with your coins or be “that person” on a date explaining stablecoin arbitrage. Either way, you win.
Crypto adoption is going up faster than people’s rent, so obviously, everyone wants a piece of the crypto payment card cake. Best Wallet is throwing its chef’s hat into the ring with its upcoming Best Card. I mean, who doesn’t want to buy a latte with dog-themed money?
Shopify Now Taking $USDC. You Can’t Pay With Exposure!
Elsewhere, Shopify teamed up with Coinbase and Stripe to let buyers pay in $USDC—the stablecoin for everyone who wants their money to be digital but not… too digital. This is rolling out in 34 countries, which is, like, infinity in e-commerce years.
Merchants win, too: they get paid in their actual home currency. No more explaining to your accountant that you got paid for T-shirts in “magic internet beans.”
Big Tech’s Crypto Crush 🥰
Not to be outdone (because no tech giant ever backs down from FOMO), rumors are flying that Google, Meta, and Apple are flirting with stablecoin integration. One day soon, buying an iPhone with crypto could be less sci-fi than whatever’s happening on your grandma’s Facebook feed.
Meanwhile, Best Wallet is hyping its Best Card, plus a Token presale that promises lower fees, higher staking rewards, and governance powers so you can feel like a boardroom executive—but with more sweatpants.
Best Card: The Crypto Card for People Who Don’t Settle for “Good
Best Wallet’s Best Card aims to let you pay for everything from coffee to new shoes in crypto. It’s not out (yet), but in the meantime, you get all the wallet features—buy, sell, swap, and early access to launches, because why not pretend to be a VC?
With the $BEST token, your crypto superhero cape comes with a 105% APY on staking (adjustable based on how many people are also staking, so, you know, crowds ruin everything).
Want an excuse to brag at parties? HODL your $BEST tokens and quote their (tentative, definitely not-mortgage-advice) price prediction: possibly $0.07 in 2030, which is a 211% gain if you measure in “fun math.”
Crypto Cards: Coming Soon to a Wallet Near Your Dad
Crypto payments are going mainstream, so brace yourself for a world where your uncle asks you if dogecoin is “like venmo.” With Best Card (and the token powering it), these are the kinds of perks and presale bonuses that lure in both newbies and people who just want a shiny card.
Before you buy crypto, consider: you could become rich, or you could just start saying “it’s a long-term investment” a lot. Either way, have fun out there! 🚀
