Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has launched Bybit Card, a debit card powered by the Mastercard MA network and issued by Moorwand.
The card will allow users to off-ramp their cryptocurrency holdings into fiat currency to make purchases or withdraw cash from ATMs.
Bybit Card will enable users to debit their cryptocurrency balances directly to pay for goods and services, without the need for intermediaries or off-ramp providers.
The card will be available for clients in eligible countries in Europe and the U.K.who have completed the necessary KYC and AML procedures.
Initially, the Bybit Card will support blue-chip cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin BTC/USD , Ether ETH/USD , Tether USDT/USD , USD Coin USDC/USD , and Ripple XRP/USD .
