The Cardano Card has arrived as a new payment option for ADA and other digital asset holders. According to the source, EMURGO partnered with Wirex to bring the card to over 6 million users across 130 countries via the Wirex app.
This rollout signals a shift from “crypto held” to “crypto used”, and it may reshape how ADA gets spent in daily life.
Global Reach and Access
At the Cardano Summit 2025 in Berlin, the partners introduced the Cardano Card. On the Wirex platform, users will find the card in their interface and can choose between virtual, plastic, and metal formats.
The card supports more than 685 cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, including ADA, BTC, ETH, and USDC.
Thanks to Visa acceptance, it works for both online and offline purchases, and it also offers features like ATM access and low foreign-exchange fees.
Features That Matter
The Cardano Card isn’t just another crypto debit card. It offers:
- Up to 8% crypto cashback on eligible transactions.
- Access to yield and loan features in the Wirex app, using crypto as collateral.
- A portion of the profits from card usage flows back into the Cardano Treasury, helping support the ecosystem.
- These features give ADA holders more than the usual “hold and wait” strategy; they gain utility and real-world access.
Roadmap & User Control
The launch begins with a custodial version of the Cardano Card, where Wirex manages assets. The next phase, planned for 2026, introduces a non-custodial version that lets users hold their own keys while still using the card.
Early registration is now open on the official site.
Availability will depend on region, issuer terms, and local regulation.
What This Means for ADA Holders
For anyone holding ADA, the Cardano Card opens a pathway to convert those holdings into action, purchase goods, withdraw cash, or earn as you spend.
Rather than just viewing ADA as an investment, users can now use it like a currency. The strategy adds real-world purpose to the token.
With significant backing and integration into a global payment app, the card could raise ADA’s visibility beyond speculators and into everyday users. At the same time, users should check fees, eligibility, and supported assets in their region.
Conclusion
The Cardano Card brings ADA and many other cryptocurrencies into everyday spending through the Wirex platform, giving users more control and more ways to use their digital assets. Backed by EMURGO and delivered globally in over 130 countries, this card may change how and where crypto gets used. For ADA holders, the time to pay attention is now.
The journey from wallet to checkout is shorter than ever, and the Cardano Card might be one of the tools making it happen.
