Phantom has officially launched early access to the Phantom Cash debit card in the US, enabling seamless integration between cryptocurrency and fiat currency, and supporting Apple Pay and Google Pay. The card makes it easy for users to deposit, withdraw, and convert between crypto and traditional money, expanding the utility of the Phantom wallet, which already supports Solana, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
This initiative is backed by Lead Bank and Bridge Ventures (, which was acquired by Stripe ). Among them, Bridge Ventures is responsible for card operations, while Lead Bank issues the prepaid Visa card, allowing Phantom to deepen its involvement in the cryptocurrency payment sector.
Phantom states that Phantom Cash aims to bring cryptocurrency into everyday transactions, enabling payments with virtual debit cards and quick money transfers to friends. The community has responded positively, expecting crypto cards to be widely accepted soon, although Phantom emphasizes that they are a technology company and not a bank.
