Reflecting the accelerating integration of digital assets into traditional payment systems, Fold Holdings has launched a new bitcoin rewards credit card issued by Visa. According to reports, the new card rollout is powered by Stripe's payment infrastructure, aiming to expand the ecosystem of Bitcoin-integrated financial products and provide users with a way to earn BTC through daily credit spending.
This partnership comes as major payment networks expand their crypto footprints; Visa previously reported processing billions in transactions via crypto-linked cards. Per market data, this move competes directly with offerings from peers like Block's Cash App which integrates Bitcoin services. Analysts suggest that leveraging Stripe's infrastructure enhances transaction processing efficiency and accelerates market penetration for fintech-led credit products.
