💳 The Gero Crypto Card Just Made ADA Go IRL 🔥
The Gero Wallet team has done it — Cardano now officially has a debit card that lets you spend your ADA anywhere. The new Gero Crypto Card bridges on-chain ADA with real-world payments through Satchel.eu (a licensed European EMI) and Kaiserex for instant ADA→EUR conversion — all from within the Gero Dashboard 2.6.0.
🚀 Gero Card Highlights
- 🌍 Spend ADA anywhere Visa/Mastercard are accepted (except US)
- 💶 Instant ADA→EUR conversion powered by Kaiserex
- 🏧 ATM withdrawals across Europe and worldwide
- 💰 ADA Cashback through Bring integration
- 🔐 100% non-custodial wallet — your keys, your coins
- 🕶️ Managed via Gero Dashboard with Satchel.eu bank integration
Launch Promo: ZERO FEES until May 1, 2026 — no issuance, no conversion, no monthly fees.
After that, standard rates apply (see below) — but holding just €200 worth of $GERO tokens makes your card 100% free forever.
