Riga City, Latvia -- (SBWire) -- 05/25/2021 --Since the release of Facebook's Libra White Paper, the digital currency seems to come into people's lives overnight. With the rise of digital assets, cryptocurrency and other digital assets are becoming a more important part of the payment. Many institutions or businesses can pay directly with cryptocurrency. Also, more people purchase cryptoasset such as bitcoin and also consume with cryptocurrency cards.

It is worth noting that DCEP, which is independently developed by China, may become the world's first digital currency issued by the central bank, so China might become the first market where digital currency is officially in circulation. Facing the coming era of digital currency, can traditional financial products such as bank cards get along with and the new DCEP? Is DCEP compete with the bankcards or enable them? Where will the bankcard industry go in the future? These will be the issues bankcard professionals have to ponder.

Then which cryptocurrency bankcards are seen in the market so far? You will be informed of some representative cryptocurrency cards in the market for reference.

Coinbase Card can make payments with cryptoassets in millions of locations around the world by exchanging those assets into legal currency.

Only users of the Coinbase Exchange are eligible to apply for the Coinbase Card. Coinbase Card offers all encrypted assets that are tradable on Coinbase, which means that users can use BTC to pay for meals or Eth to buy tickets.
