Network Highlights

The Avalanche Card Arrives

The Avalanche Card is designed for a world where crypto isn’t just held—it’s used. A new way to connect, without relying on mainstream tools. Through its integration with Visa’s trusted global network, users can now pay for groceries, transportation, online shopping, and even utility bills, as applicable—just like any traditional credit card.

With support for Avalanche-native USDC, USDT, AVAX, and Wrapped AVAX (wAVAX), the card allows users to use crypto as easily as fiat without complicated exchange conversions.
