FTX.US launched an FTX Card powered by Swipe. With this card, users can pay for goods and services using their FTX U.S. account balances.

For now, the FTX Card is only available on FTX US, and only to US residents with an SSN.  However, we are anticipating being able to expand availability over time, including to US Blockfolio users.”

How the card works

Per the tweet posted by the exchange, U.S. residents can now sign up for the card. The exchange is only issuing virtual cards at the moment.

Just like a physical card, users will get a card number, expiration date, and CVV, which can then be used to make online purchases.

The platform said that it intends to issue physical cards over the coming few months and those who sign up for a virtual card will automatically be eligible to get a physical card when the exchange starts issuing them.

To make purchases with the virtual card, funds will be deducted from the users’ balances.

When you purchase something with your FTX card, FTX US will deduct that amount of funds from your balance.  If you do not have USD, FTX US will CONVERT your other coins to fund the purchase.”
FTX founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried released a Twitter thread explaining how crypto “doesn’t interface with the rest of the world.”

Crypto is out of touch with the world

Bankman-Fried, who is also the founder of Alameda Research, said that it is easy to move your crypto between exchanges and wallets.

However, people get stuck when they want to pay for goods and services, and he gave an example of buying a loaf of bread with crypto.

He added that users have to convert their crypto into fiat before making the purchase. 

The chief executive hints that the FTX card simplifies the crypto payment process.

In recent times, a number of exchanges and wallets have begun offering cards to their clients.

Crypto card wars

Binance launched its Visa-powered card that allows users to spend and convert their cryptocurrencies at more than 60 million merchants worldwide.

Crypto wallet Crypto.com and cryptocurrency exchanges Gemini and Coinbase have launched their own cards.

Early this month, FTX introduced a feature that allows users to top up their trading accounts using PayPal.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
