Crypto.com, a prominent cryptocurrency platform, has announced earlier today the availability of its Visa card program across Latin America.Â
This strategic move is part of the company’s broader efforts to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrency in the region.
The Crypto.com Visa Card is one of the largest crypto card programs of its kind globally, offering users a seamless way to utilize their digital assets for everyday spending.
Card Features and User Benefits
The Crypto.com Visa Card functions as a prepaid card, allowing users to top up their balance using either their crypto wallet or traditional credit/debit cards within the Crypto.com App.
The card is available across all seven tiers offered by the platform, each providing a range of perks and service benefits.
These include generous cash back rewards of up to 9% on spending, access to airport lounges, full rebates for popular subscription services like Spotify and Netflix, and the absence of annual or monthly fees, depending on the card tier.

Expansion Strategy and Adoption Efforts
Commenting on the Latin American expansion, Eric Anziani, the President and COO of Crypto.com, emphasized the growing interest in cryptocurrency across the region.
He stated, “Interest in crypto has increased dramatically across all of Latin America, and our industry-leading card will now give Latin American users generous spending rewards. These could be paid in crypto, rebates for popular subscription services, and many more perks as part of our new Level Up program.”Â
This strategic launch is part of Crypto.com’s broader roadmap to provide users worldwide with a comprehensive platform that caters to their banking, crypto trading, and spending needs, further driving the adoption of digital assets.
Complementary Acquisitions and Regulatory Compliance
Crypto.com’s expansion into Latin America with its Visa card program is complemented by its recent acquisition activities.
The company had earlier announced the acquisition of Charterprime Ltd, a global financial exchange and brokerage service provider based in Mauritius.
This move aims to leverage Charterprime’s existing licenses, including an Investment Dealer Licence and a Global Business Licence issued by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, to expand Crypto.com’s services in the traditional financial market.
Additionally, Crypto.com’s acquisition of Fintek Securities Pty Ltd in Australia, a regulated brokerage service and trading company, underscores the platform’s strategic focus on strengthening its regulatory compliance and expanding its traditional finance capabilities.
These strategic acquisitions demonstrate Crypto.com’s commitment to building a comprehensive ecosystem that bridges the gap between cryptocurrency and conventional financial services.
