Visa Partners With Tangem On A Crypto Card Without Intermediaries

Trust in traditional financial institutions continues to erode, paving the way for a new wave of tools designed to integrate cryptocurrencies into daily transactions. Tangem Pay emerges as a groundbreaking solution, blending a Visa card with a cold wallet in a single chip. This innovation eliminates intermediaries, custodians, and pre-funding requirements, aligning with Web3 principles of autonomy and sovereignty.

Announced at Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Tangem Pay represents a departure from hybrid models. Michael Batuev, VP of Product at Tangem, emphasizes: "It is not regulation that guarantees security, but the technology itself." The card operates through personal smart contracts, ensuring user-triggered transactions without third-party involvement.

The integration of Tangem Wallet with Alephium further accelerates Web3 adoption, offering a multi-asset hardware wallet solution. This development marks a significant step toward seamless, global crypto payments while maintaining user control over digital assets.
