Popular Crypto Wallet imToken Partners with Swiss Blockchain Bank Fiat24 to Launch a Multicurrency Mastercard Debit Card

Feb 28, 2025 at 07:03 pm

Cryptocurrencies, with their decentralized nature, enable borderless transactions at a fraction of the costs and processing time typically seen in TradFi.

Popular crypto wallet provider imToken has teamed up with Swiss blockchain-powered bank Fiat24 to launch a multicurrency Mastercard debit card, enabling users to spend crypto like fiat.

Cryptocurrencies, renowned for their decentralized nature, facilitate borderless transactions at a fraction of the costs and processing time encountered in traditional finance. This once-niche industry has witnessed an unprecedented surge in adoption, quickly establishing itself in the domain of mainstream finance.

However, despite this rapid integration, a critical bottleneck persists in the on/off-ramp systems—tools that connect crypto and fiat currencies. The liquidity inefficiency between on/off-chain systems and traditional finance is largely due to technical barriers, regulatory and compliance hurdles, fragmented liquidity, and differences in trust mechanisms, ultimately hindering capital efficiency and the market development potential. As on-chain liquidity soars, it cannot be seamlessly integrated into daily life. The fund inflows and outflows face compliance risks, complex operations, and slow processing steps (transfer cycles).

But fintech solutions are merging the security of traditional banking with the efficiency of blockchain technology to bridge this divide.

Crypto and fiat intertwine

One such solution is Fiat24—a Switzerland-regulated bank fully built on blockchain. It leverages Ethereum and its smart contracts to process transactions between fiat and crypto in real time. Focusing on tokenized deposits and decentralized finance, the bank acts as a well-built bridge between crypto and daily life.

To further strengthen this bridge, imToken, a global crypto wallet with over 15 million users, has partnered with Fiat24.

imToken is a secure and user-friendly digital wallet that provides easy access to and usage of over 50 major blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tron. It also supports hardware wallets, crypto-to-crypto exchanges and a DApp browser, offering trusted non-custodial wallet services to millions of users.

On top of expanding the bank’s reach, the collaboration will also introduce a multicurrency Mastercard debit card that will enable users to spend digital assets as smoothly as traditional currency.

The new card will offer instant conversion between various fiat currencies and stablecoins like USD and USD Coin (USDC), allowing users to pay with crypto on the spot. Users can add the card to Apple Pay and Google Pay and use it as conveniently as traditional debit cards—no delays or complex transactions that involve manual conversions. This ensures that users can enjoy a streamlined and hassle-free experience when spending their digital assets, whether online or in-store.

Beyond spending, the card is connected to a Swiss IBAN, granting users access to international banking features, including SEPA payments. This integration allows both individuals and businesses to manage fiat and digital assets in one account, benefitting from Fiat24’s cost-effective financial structure and transparent pricing.

The significance to both the industry and users lies in enhancing liquidity by facilitating the bidirectional flow of value between Web2 and Web3 while providing real-life convenience to imToken’s millions of Web3 wallet users. This enables them to enjoy the benefits of self-custody assets and easily use tokens for daily consumption, with the added advantage of holding a Swiss IBAN account for global spending.

Making crypto a practical payment option

imToken is applying Ethereum layer-2 solutions for faster, lower-cost transactions without compromising security. Through the partnership with Fiat24, imToken is bridging digital and traditional finance, making DeFi accessible to all users, from beginners to experts.

This collaboration extends into Asia, integrating with regional payment systems like WeChat and Alipay. It reflects a broader vision: PayFi gradually embedding itself into everyday financial services worldwide.

As the financial landscape evolves, collaborations like the one between imToken and Fiat24 will serve as a blueprint for a more inclusive and interoperable global economy, seamlessly blending Web3 innovations with established financial systems. Such collaborations signal a shift toward a future where digital assets are as integral to the global economy as traditional fiat currencies.
