Gate said during TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026, citing an official announcement, that it has partnered with Visa to launch a crypto-linked card, with the service expected to roll out across more than 40 markets globally.
Users will be able to apply for and manage the card through the Gate App. The card can be used at online and offline merchants that accept Visa, and the digital assets used in a transaction will be automatically converted into fiat at the point of payment.
Gate Money added to the Gate App
Gate has also formally launched Gate Money, integrating digital assets, fiat currency, stocks, ETFs, gold, bank accounts and payment functions into the Gate App. Eligible users can apply online for a global electronic bank account under their own name and complete fund transfers, asset conversion and payments on the same platform.
According to the announcement, the Visa crypto-linked card extends Gate Money’s integrated service path of account opening, funding, asset management and spending into more real-world payment scenarios. Users can activate Gate Money with one click after updating the Gate App to version v8.39.0.
Visa network reaches more than 200 countries and territories
Visa’s digital payments network covers more than 200 countries and territories and includes over 175 million merchant acceptance points. Gate said the partnership combines its digital asset capabilities with Visa’s global payments infrastructure, widening the use of digital assets in shopping, dining, travel and other everyday spending scenarios.
Executives comment on the partnership
Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han said the partnership links digital asset accounts with a broader range of commercial spending scenarios, making digital assets more flexible and intuitive to use while helping bring them into everyday financial life and business activity.
Nischint Sanghavi, Visa’s Head of Crypto for Asia-Pacific, said Visa is working with partners to expand payment options by connecting new forms of value with established digital payments infrastructure.
The announcement added that the launch of the crypto-linked card extends Gate’s business footprint in real-world payments and integrated financial services, while giving users a more convenient way to spend digital assets in commercial settings worldwide.
