As a seasoned researcher with a keen interest in both traditional finance and the burgeoning world of cryptocurrencies, I find the recent collaboration between Floki and Mastercard to be a fascinating step forward in the integration of these two worlds. Having closely followed Elon Musk’s ventures, it’s intriguing to see a digital currency named after his beloved dog gaining traction and offering practical solutions like the Floki Debit Card.
As an analyst, I’m excited to share that I’ve been instrumental in the collaboration between Floki and Mastercard, where we’ve developed a versatile debit card. This card will be accessible in both physical and digital formats across 31 European nations. The card is designed to work seamlessly with eight different blockchain platforms, and it can be loaded with FLOKI and other popular cryptocurrencies, making transactions effortless.
A card to spend 13 cryptocurrencies
The Floki Debit Card can be distributed across 31 nations, which encompass the member states of both the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). Moreover, virtual gift cards are accessible globally. These cards work in conjunction with Mastercard and are usable wherever Visa and Mastercard are accepted as payment methods.
Transactions here don’t involve any charges, however, there’s a 2% cost for adding funds (top-up). Additionally, there may be one-time setup fees to consider. The maximum amount of Tether (USDT) that can be processed each day is capped at 5,000 units.
This card can be loaded using various cryptocurrencies such as Floki Inu, Bitcoin, Ether, Tether tokens including USDT, EURT, XAUT, Circle USDC, Binance Coin (BNB), Solana, Dogecoin, Hamster Kombat, The Open Network, and Notcoin.
In March, Floki – a cryptocurrency named for Elon Musk’s pet dog – revealed plans to launch a debit card as part of its initial strategies. This digital currency is backed by an enthusiastic group of followers who refer to themselves as Vikings, and it boasts a market capitalization of approximately $2.63 billion with a total circulation of 9.67 trillion coins.
In simple terms, it’s anticipated that Floki’s premier Valhalla gaming universe’s primary network will debut during the initial three months of 2025, following some postponements. The foundation of its system revolves around both the Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain blockchain platforms.
Visa, Mastercard and the cryptoverse
The Floki Debit Card becomes part of an expanding collection of credit cards powered by cryptocurrency, operating under the dominance of the Visa-Mastercard duo.
In December, Mastercard collaborated with crypto exchange Crypto.com to launch a debit card in the Gulf Cooperation Council area, while they also introduced credit cards in partnership with the Bulgarian decentralized lending platform Nexo across Europe in August 2023.
In the month of April, Mastercard, Baanx, and the decentralized finance company, 1inch Network, launched a cryptocurrency debit card across Europe. Similarly, the decentralized finance wallet, MetaMask, is also issuing a payment card in Europe, in partnership with both Baanx and Mastercard.
Visa has recently formed partnerships with FV Bank, a financial technology company based in Puerto Rico, and the Avalanche Foundation for the issuance of debit cards.
