Coinbase Launches First US-issued Bitcoin Debit Card
Coinbase, a leading bitcoin wallet service, announced the release of the first-ever bitcoin debit card. Called the Shift Card, the payment option is powered by Visa and enables the company’s customers to perform transactions in over 38 million stores worldwide.
“Merchant adoption has come a long way over the past few years, but it’s still difficult for people to make regular purchases with bitcoin. Buying gas at a local gas station or groceries at a neighborhood grocery store with bitcoin has not been possible in most cities in the U.S.,” wrote Coindesk in a recent blog post.
