London, United Kingdom, August 31 – Reef, a layer 1 substrate-based blockchain for DeFi, NFTs and gaming, today announced that the highly anticipated Reef Card is now available to people in the UK and Europe.
Reef has worked with Baanx, an experienced partner for revolutionary web3 financial solutions, to create and manufacture the Reef Card. Reef Card, powered by Baanx, is part of MasterCard’s crypto debit line. Due to covid and material production delays, the card was put on hold until this year. It is now officially available to everyone in the UK and EEA.
Denko Mancheski, Managing Director of Reef said: “We feel good about the future of Reef and over the last year we have been working hard with Baanx to bring the Reef Card to life. We are delighted to have it available now and provide hodlers the opportunity to use their cryptocurrencies in the physical world.”
Crypto debit cards have become a popular ticket in the physical world as they add a new layer of utility to the tokens and cryptocurrency landscape. Reef Card holders will be able to use only crypto and have the card convert it to fiat upon purchase, and they will be able to use their card at over 90 million merchants worldwide and even withdraw fiat at certain ATMs. Initially, the Reef Card will be available as a physical card and Google Play right away. Apple Pay is coming next.
Garth Howat, CEO of Baanx said: “It is very exciting to see more companies and communities adopting our solutions to bridge the gap between DeFi and traditional finance. We have been working hard with the Reef team on this project so that has allowed the community to enjoy the Reef’s ecosystem to the fullest!”
Reef continues to develop and expand its blockchain, quickly gaining momentum in the lead to become one of the top five Web3 blockchains. Recently, Reef launched an NFT division, attended Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai, and launched ReefScan V2 and a new $REEF Community Staking Bond. The Reef Card is another innovative addition to the rise of the chain and their original token $REEF.
