Fold Partners with Blackhawk to Unleash Bitcoin Gift Cards at 400,000+ Retailers—Bullish Adoption Play
Bitcoin just got a retail rampage. Fold's latest coup? Teaming with payments giant Blackhawk to drop BTC gift cards at over 400,000 stores—from corner shops to big-box beasts.
The On-Ramp Goes Mainstream
No more KYC gymnastics or exchange headaches. Now shoppers can grab satoshis with the same ease as buying a Starbucks card—while retailers get a cut of the action. Talk about aligning incentives.
Why This Stings Banks
The playbook's clear: bypass legacy finance by turning every CVS and Walmart into a pseudo Bitcoin ATM. Meanwhile, traditional banks still charge $35 overdraft fees for the privilege of holding your money hostage.
Fold's move isn't just about accessibility—it's a Trojan horse for mass adoption. And with Blackhawk's distribution muscle? Watch those merchant numbers multiply faster than a DeFi exploit.
