1inch Crypto Debit Card
Christian Rau, Mastercard’s senior vice president of crypto and fintech enablement said: “We’ve long championed solutions that not only meet customers where they are, but also deliver ubiquity, peace of mind and the highest levels of security.
“Leveraging Mastercard’s leading technology and standards, the 1inch Card is connecting Web2 and Web3 worlds in an innovative way, he added.”
1inch Network is moving away from the more traditional methods of converting crypto to fiat. Users would undertake a series of steps for conversions, but they have streamlined the process.
Users will now be able to maintain custody of their assets with a single conversion rate during online or in-person purchases.

Pending partnerships and regulatory approvals, 1inch Network aims to roll out the new 1inch Card across the world. Currently, it is available in the UK and other European nations.
“We already have a lot of people who are using one 1inch for swaps, limit orders and also as a developer portal,” explained 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz.
“But we wanted to also onboard the man on the street who is holding crypto. So we decided to go with the 1inch card because it offers us an additional entry point for new people,” he added.
