Binance announced that Binance Card now supports three new altcoins: Ripple (XRP), Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Avalanche (AVAX).
Binance Card allows users to “convert and spend cryptocurrencies in over 60 million stores, both online and physical.“Currently the card is only available to European citizens and, according to the official website, to Ukrainian refugees. Even before the conflict in Ukraine, Binance planned to expand its service in the country by the end of the year.
With the latest addition, the card now supports 14 cryptocurrencies: Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Binance Coin (BNB), Bitcoin (BTC), Binance USD (BUSD), Polkadot (DOT), Ether (ETH), SS Lazio Fan Token (LAZIO), FC Porto Fan Token (PORTO), Santos FC Fan Token (SANTOS), SHIB, Swipe (SXP), Tether (USDT) e Ripple (XRP).
The newly added cryptocurrencies will not change the current payment preferences for those already using Binance Card.
Recently, Binance announced a partnership with Mastercard to bring its prepaid cards to Argentina. Argentine customers will be able to use BTC, BNB and other digital assets to make purchases and withdrawals wherever Mastercard is accepted.
Wirex added AVAX this year to its already extensive list of currencies supported by its crypto-card. The platform offers users the ability to pay via 61 different currencies, both fiat and crypto.
Nexo has also launched a crypto-card in partnership with Mastercard. The project was announced in 2019, but only manifested itself three years later. Similar to Binance Card, this is also only available in some European countries.
