The new card is to be launched soon, and it will let LTC holders make use of their most-favoured coin both in online and offline shops, where clients can pay by regular cards.
The Foundation plans to initiate a special edition of the BlockCard by Ternio, working with LTC.
Apart from LTC, other coins will also be usable through the card – BIX and TERN (both are released by the new partners of Litecoin).
Bibox co-founder Aries Wang says about the new partnership:
By partnering with the Litecoin Foundation and Ternio we are able to leverage Bibox’s robust exchange platform to help bring consumers more options to spend cryptocurrency with unprecedented ease.”
The area the LTC card will cover
The LTC BlockCard is planned for an upcoming release in the US and later on – beyond that region for all crypto fans.
By efforts of Bibox, the card will be integrated into Bibox and built into the LoafWallet. The latter is the official LTC wallet, thus enabling users to utilize their LTC cards instantly and increase the purchasing power of crypto.
How crypto cards work
Crypto cards that have been launched previously, e.g. by Coinbase, allow users to convert their crypto into fiat via a special mobile app.
The same works for Starbucks, Whole Foods and other major chain stores that have recently begun accepting BTC with other crypto.
