Huobi and Solaris Introduce a Visa-Backed Debit Card in the EU

In order to enable their European customers to make transactions from their cryptocurrency accounts using Visa-backed debit cards, Huobi and Solaris formed a cooperation with Visa.

As Blockchain technologies advance, creating a variety of payment choices (using both fiat and digital currencies) is becoming a goal for many banking firms. This vision includes Visa, a reputable pioneer in the online payment sector.

Information About Debit Cards

A new joint agreement between cryptocurrency exchange Huobi and European financial services company Solaris was recently unveiled. Through their agreement, Visa would introduce a debit card that would enable customers to make crypto-to-fiat money transfers.

The debit card will be available to customers in the European Economic Area (EEA) in Q2 2023. All of the nations that form up the European Union are a part of the EEA.

The cooperation was discussed by Solaris' chief strategy officer, Andrea Ramiono. He highlighted the possibility of other advancements from their alliance by stating that the innovation is the first stage in the Solaris Huobi partnership. A significant step has been taken in Huobi's initiatives to open up the availability of virtual assets.

In the EU, the Huobi Visa card isn't the first one. A crypto-to-fiat card endorsed by Visa that was introduced by Binance in 2020 enables European citizens to withdraw cash via their Binance accounts.

Visa has promoted numerous crypto-fiat gap-closing initiatives and backed numerous crypto-innovations. For instance, on October 22, Visa collaborated with Blockchian.com to provide Americans with a cryptocurrency debit card.

A fintech business called ZELF and Visa worked together to introduce an incognito debit card with a cryptocurrency recharge similar to Huobi. With just their names, email addresses, and phone numbers, users of the debit card can open a checking account denominated in US dollars.

Visa suggests a self-contained cryptocurrency wallet for automated transactions.

On December 20, 2022, Visa put up a new cryptocurrency option in a blog post. With the initiative, network operators could withdraw money from consumers' Ethereum accounts without needing continual administrative approvals for each transaction. In the traditional financial sector, it is comparable with recurring subscription billings, where customers can approve monthly auto-billing for select sites such as Netflix.

As per Visa, a new self-custodial wallet termed “delegable accounts” based on the Account Abstraction (AA) idea will allow automatic future billing in cryptocurrencies. By putting up a programmatic payment, users can move money immediately from their self-custodial wallet account at regular intervals.
