Seamless Crypto Spending for Everyday Purchases
EMCD, a global crypto-fintech platform and a prominent Bitcoin mining pool, has launched the EMCD Payment Card, powered by KazeFi. This new offering allows eligible users to spend USDT anywhere Mastercard is accepted, facilitating both online and in-store transactions, including integration with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The EMCD Payment Card is designed for effortless crypto spending. It can be issued within minutes after completing Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and can be instantly added to a mobile wallet. The card is free to issue and carries no monthly maintenance fees, providing users with a convenient way to utilize their crypto for everyday goods and services. Additional fees may apply as detailed in the Terms and Conditions available on the company website.
“Millions of people hold crypto today, but only some of them actually use it in their daily lives,” stated Michael Jerlis, Founder and CEO of EMCD. “The EMCD Payment Card bridges this gap. It makes digital assets usable anywhere Mastercard is accepted, through simple, secure payment tools. With this launch, we are extending the EMCD suite beyond mining, storing and earning crypto to actually spending it seamlessly.”
The EMCD Payment Card enables users to spend USDT, with the underlying technology provided by KazeFi. Funds can be directly topped up from the EMCD Wallet, eliminating the need to switch between different applications or transfer assets externally.
Growing Demand for Crypto Payment Solutions
The introduction of the EMCD Payment Card aligns with the rapid expansion of the global crypto payments sector. According to a16z's State of Crypto 2025 report, stablecoins processed over $46 trillion in transaction volume in the past year, more than doubling from the previous year. Research from eMarketer indicates a growing trend in crypto usage for everyday spending, with projections suggesting that nearly 1 in 5 crypto owners will use digital assets for payments by 2026, an increase from 14.2% in 2024. This highlights an increasing demand for straightforward payment solutions.
EMCD's Unified Digital Asset Ecosystem
The EMCD Payment Card is now accessible to eligible users through the EMCD App. This launch further solidifies EMCD's position as a comprehensive ecosystem where users can mine, save, manage, and now spend their digital assets all within a single platform.
