Coinbase Card

Coinbase Card is a crypto debit card designed to enable users to spend cryptocurrency directly from their Coinbase wallets in everyday transactions. It bridges the gap between digital assets and traditional payment systems by allowing seamless conversion of crypto to fiat at the point of sale. The card supports multiple cryptocurrencies held in Coinbase accounts, providing flexibility and convenience for users who want to use their crypto holdings for real-world purchases.

The card is primarily targeted at retail users who are active in the crypto ecosystem and want to leverage their digital assets for daily spending without needing to manually convert crypto to fiat beforehand. It integrates tightly with the Coinbase platform, requiring users to have a verified Coinbase account and wallet. Transactions made with the card are reflected in the Coinbase app, allowing users to track spending and manage their crypto balances in real time.

What differentiates Coinbase Card from other crypto payment cards is its direct integration with one of the largest and most trusted crypto exchanges, Coinbase. This integration simplifies onboarding and security, leveraging Coinbase’s compliance and infrastructure. Additionally, the card supports rewards in crypto, enabling users to earn crypto back on purchases. With over 1 million users, Coinbase Card has been adopted widely and is accepted at millions of merchants worldwide where Visa is supported.

Use cases include everyday retail spending with crypto, earning crypto rewards on purchases, and simplifying crypto-to-fiat conversion for users who want to maintain exposure to digital assets while using traditional payment methods. Developers and product teams interested in integrating crypto payment solutions can explore Coinbase’s broader APIs and developer tools available on GitHub and official documentation to build complementary services or enhance user experiences around crypto payments.
