Conclusion
Monaco was and is still currently racing against other cryptocurrencies such as TenX and Tokencard to release a cryptocurrency debit card. TenX is already distributing cards while Monaco still needs to release theirs.
It's important to notice TenX fastened this through a third party called Wavecrest. Monaco on the other hand are aiming to become a Visa Program Manager. This will give them better pricing and leaves them more room to innovate.
We will keep you posted and updated on later news and any cryptocurrency we feature on a regular basis.
