Avalanche Launches Crypto Payment Card as Network Attracts Big Institutions

Unveiled on Monday, April 21, during North America’s midday trading hours, the newly launched Avalanche Card aims to make it easier for users to spend digital assets globally.

Designed for both in-store and online purchases, the Avalanche Card initially supports AVAX, USDC, and USDT.

It’s directly tied to a user’s self-custodial wallet and notably avoids any conversion fees, positioning itself as a convenient bridge between crypto holdings and real-world payments.
