Additional integrations at launch include Binance, Kraken, OKX, Exodus, and Solana’s Phantom wallet, with more on the roadmap .

Users can pay with tokens such as BTC and ETH, alongside USDT, SOL, BNB, and 90+ others, or can choose to cash out their memecoin gains for traditional purchases through PayPal. The company is launching with a promotional flat fee of just 0.99% on each crypto transaction (good until July 31, 2026), compared with the 3-4% typically charged for cross-border cards.
