The COVID-19 outbreak has driven a noticeable move away from cash and towards contactless modes of payments. The crypto community immediately saw in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto-assets the ideal financial transaction alternative. But for the average Joe who doesn’t yet understand how crypto works, the technology may initially appear intimidating and out of reach.
However, one major crypto firm is working to bridge the gap between users new to the emerging financial technology and the post-pandemic future where the crypto-asset technology will shine due to its speed, safety, and security.
MCO Visa Card Is The Missing Link Needed For Widespread Crypto Adoption
The complex technology surrounding digital assets has prevented the mainstream public from taking the plunge and utilizing cryptocurrencies for everyday payments. Until now.
With a highly contagious virus spreading from person to person, there is a need now for more contactless payment options that can be managed without a trip to the bank. Cryptocurrencies serve the purpose of digital transactions quite well.
Also, with fiat money losing it’s worth owing to incessant cash printing by central banks around the world, people are looking for other assets to protect the value of their wealth. Crypto assets fit that requirement too.
Fortunately, a growing trend of crypto-focused debit cards has emerged, offering a familiar onramp to crypto and allowing for a more comfortable introduction to the nascent but immensely promising financial technology.
These crypto debit cards, such as the Crypto.com MCO Visa card, make using cryptocurrencies a cakewalk. The fiat bridging aspect helps people skip the tricky learning curve and get them started right away. Users can also pair it with the Crypto.com app to buy crypto easily with fiat money.
Additionally, the MCO Visa card can be used to spend crypto just like a regular credit or debit card. Features like in-built NFC technology make it possible to smoothly conduct fully contactless monetary transactions.
The card offers many of the same pros as cash, but it is a much better option due to many benefits and incentives which the users can avail themselves.
Save Money And Earn Crypto Rewards During The Economic Crisis
The MCO Visa card comes with a variety of crypto-based perks and rewards that will further boost crypto adoption.
Not only does this card make using crypto simple for all, but it also makes using your crypto much more appealing.
Five different tiers of debit cards are available, depending on the needs of users, tastes, and how much MCO they are staking with the Crypto.com app.
Using the card to spend on everyday transactions earns users between 1% to 5% in cashback, or in this case, crypto rewards in MCO, depending on card tier and the amount of MCO staked.
Depending on card tiers, users can enjoy free access to exclusive partner benefits such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Spotify, and more. There’s even unlimited airport lounge access for air travel.
