The card supports major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin, and allows shoppers to spend crypto like cash at the check-out and online wherever Visa is accepted. In addition to spending BTC, ETH, LTC and other leading cryptocurrencies, users will have the option of spending euro by converting fiat into crypto for a fee.
The card initially debuted in the UK in April, allowing shoppers to purchase everyday items, from groceries to coffee.
