“The MCO Visa Card is quite unique and provides a bridge between traditional banking and cryptocurrencies in a safe and compliant way.”

The new cards can be reserved through the Crypto.com Wallet & Card App. Through the app, the customers can also complete their on-boarding process and ID verification.

Additionally, the customer can purchase, sell, store, send and track crypto currencies though the app without paying currency exchange fees.

The Wallet app also allows them to manage their transactions as well as freeze their card with a single tap.

Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek said: “The market demand for the MCO Visa Card has been overwhelming and we look forward to bringing it to customers as soon as possible.

“This is another important step towards our mission of accelerating the world’s acceptance of cryptocurrency.”

Crypto.com added that the 100,000 MCO Visa Cards have been reserved globally till date.
