The company said the card would address the hurdles that come with making payments directly with cryptocurrencies. “Currently, spending crypto is a long and difficult process involving exchanges, personal keys, and lots of waiting,” it said.
Following a beta launch in Spain, the firm is now expanding across the eurozone, adding that users can now download the app in expectation of a March 27 launch.
The same day, the firm also plans a pre-sale of its native token "2GT" via the app, aiming to raise €5 million (or $5.65 million). All EU citizens can participate, it said.
“To date, there has been no consumer-owned, tangible application that connects crypto and the mainstream market," said 2gether CEO Ramón Ferraz. "We’re proud to be one of the first companies in the crypto space launching a token sale with an already finished product.”
Founded in 2016, Madrid-based 2gether says it is advised by KPMG and A.T. Kearney, and takes the mission to “dramatically improve the personal economies of customers” using technologies such as big data and blockchain.
