100,000 Crypto Visa Debit Cards To Be Issued By Hong Kong-based Crypto.com

Crypto.com, a blockchain startup that recently rebranded from Monaco, has applied for a license to issue cryptocurrency-based payment cards.
Crypto.com's Visa debit cards will aim to provide increased liquidity via a multi-currency wallet for fiat and crypto-based transactions.
Crypto.com has also applied for a cryptocurrency-based money lending license.

Crypto.com, a Hong Kong-based blockchain startup previously known as Monaco, has reportedly applied for a license to issue cryptocurrency Visa debit cards. According to the South China Morning Post, Crypto.com is planning to ship over 100,000 crypto payment cards to its customers in Singapore, Hong Kong, and in several other countries throughout the world.

Bridging The Gap Between Fiat And Crypto
The crypto debit card provider has been issued a “stored-value facility” license by Singapore’s financial regulator and central bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Commenting on the rollout of the crypto-based payment cards, Crypto.com co-founder and CEO, Kris Marszalek, said:

“To holders of cryptocurrencies, having the peace of mind that you can readily convert back into fiat currencies and cash out is very important.”

Users will also have access to a multi-currency wallet that will allow deposits and withdrawals for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Binance Coin (BNB), and the Monaco token (MCO). Additionally, the wallet will support transfers for the following fiat currencies: USD, Singapore dollars (SGD), Hong Kong dollars (HKD).

Crypto.com’s crypto payment card solution has been developed through a partnership with Wirecard Bank, a German financial services provider. Marszalek explained that the crypto cards will be introduced to an “untapped market” and that they will help bridge the gap between traditional finance, or fiat currencies, and cryptos.

The tech entrepreneur also said that the cryptocurrency market needs better liquidity services by noting that:

“Not all exchanges support crypto-to-fiat transactions, and even if you hold your digital assets at the exchanges’ wallet, the withdrawal process is also complicated. We believe our product addresses a real need, and enhances trust in digital assets.”

Crypto-Backed Money Lending
Marszalek added that his company’s crypto debit cards will be secure, easy-to-use, and affordable. Notably, Crypto.com has also applied for various money lending licenses in Hong Kong and Singapore. The blockchain startup intends to expand its services by offering cryptocurrency-backed money lending services, as this is another untapped market.

If approved, Crypto.com will be able to provide collateralized bitcoin (btc) and monaco (mco) based loans to its crypto payment card holders. Marszalek criticized the current lending system by referring to it is as “unethical business.” He said that his company’s crypto-based lending solution will “disrupt” the traditional credit card industry, which takes advantage of consumers’ inability to pay back loans as it issues “unsecured revolving credit” at very high interest rates.

In order to reduce credit risk for consumers, Crypto.com aims to allow its customers to borrow only up to 60% (in fiat money) of their cryptocurrency held as collateral. Given the volatile nature of the digital currency market, the blockchain startup appears to be willing to absorb potential losses, presumably in an effort to become a leading provider (or pioneer) of crypto-based lending services.
