While banking and credit card companies struggle with crypto, Giftcoin already has a solution
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — There’s an exciting new way to invest in cryptocurrency and it’s not just another exchange. Giftcoin has removed all the complexities of investing in crypto and wrapped it in a package everyone can understand and use: a gift card.
While banking and credit card companies struggle with crypto, Giftcoin already has a solution.
Using crypto in the real world is now easy and safe. Giftcoin cards work just like a debit card and can be added to your Apple or Google Wallet for “tap and pay” checkout anywhere. Create Giftcoin cards for your favorite stores and watch the balance change in real time. Imagine your Amazon + Bitcoin card going from $50 to $80. Your Starbucks + Ethereum card growing from $25 to $40. Giftcoin cards are a fun and simple way to start investing in crypto.
Giftcoin is a better and safer alternative to traditional crypto exchanges like Coinbase because it’s not an investment platform. You’ll never “lose your wallet or key code” with Giftcoin. Your cards are always available and can be used anytime. Traditional gift cards trap consumers in a single brand but Giftcoin cards can be swapped for a new brand or crypto, split, and merged to create new cards for different stores. The possibilities are endless.
While traditional banking and credit card companies are scrambling to offer crypto to their customers, Giftcoin already provides an elegant solution for purchasing crypto and using it in the real world. “We wanted to give people a fun and easy way to get started with crypto and a way to use it in their everyday lives.” Said Cofounder/CEO Justin Lockwood
Available in the Apple App Store now, Giftcoin features hundreds of retailers from Starbucks to Doordash to Louis Vuitton. Users simply select their favorite shop, choose between cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano, and purchase with a credit card or Apple Pay. No need to already own crypto or connect a bank account. In just a few taps, you can create a card for yourself, send a card to anyone in your contacts, and even add a personalized note on the digital card.
