EMCD expands its ecosystem with a free-to-issue USDT Payment Card supporting online and in-store purchases, including through Apple Pay and Google Pay
HONG KONG, Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EMCD, a global crypto-fintech platform and one of the world’s top Bitcoin mining pools, announced the launch of the EMCD Payment Card, powered by KazeFi, allowing eligible users to spend USDT anywhere Mastercard is accepted – both online and in-store, including through Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Designed to make everyday crypto spending seamless, the EMCD Payment Card can be issued within minutes after completing KYC and instantly added to a mobile wallet. The card is free to issue and has no monthly maintenance fee, making it easy for users to spend their crypto on everyday goods and services, with additional fees applied in accordance with the Terms and Conditions available on the company website.
“Millions of people hold crypto today, but only some of them actually use it in their daily lives,” said Michael Jerlis, Founder and CEO of EMCD. “The EMCD Payment Card bridges this gap. It makes digital assets usable anywhere Mastercard is accepted, through simple, secure payment tools. With this launch, we are extending the EMCD suite beyond mining, storing and earning crypto to actually spending it seamlessly.”
The EMCD Payment Card enables users to spend USDT, powered by KazeFi. Funds can be topped up directly from the EMCD Wallet, without the need to switch between apps or move assets elsewhere.
The launch comes at a time when the global crypto payments sector is rapidly expanding. According to a16z’s State of Crypto 2025 report, stablecoins processed more than $46 trillion in transaction volume over the past year, more than double from the previous year. Crypto use for everyday spending is also rising: research from eMarketer indicates that nearly 1 in 5 crypto owners will use digital assets for payments by 2026, up from 14.2% in 2024, underscoring rising demand for simple payment solutions.
The EMCD Payment Card is now available to eligible users through the EMCD App. This launch further strengthens EMCD’s position as a unified ecosystem where users can mine, save, manage, and now spend digital assets — all in one place. More details are available at: https://emcd.io/payment-card/
