Dubai, UAE — BIX has announced the official launch of its new crypto payment card, designed to modernize digital asset spending by integrating advanced financial architecture into everyday Visa transactions. The card enables users to utilize their digital assets as collateral while purchasing goods and services, settling merchant transactions directly in fiat currency.

Ask most people what a crypto company does and they will describe an exchange. Buy, sell, hold, repeat. That description is becoming outdated, and the reason sits in a growing number of wallets in the form of a payment card.

In BIX's case, self-custody describes the wallet, while card collateral and settlement remain subject to the applicable programme arrangements. There is also a positioning question the sector has not fully answered. These are finance apps, not banks, and the services that look most bank-like are usually delivered through third-party institutions under their own arrangements. Communicating that clearly, without either overclaiming or burying it, is part of earning mainstream trust.

To achieve this level of transparency, BIX has structured its infrastructure around regulatory compliance and clear disclosures regarding third-party card issuer partnerships. By separating self-custodial asset storage from transaction settlement, the platform ensures users retain ownership of their digital holdings until spending events occur.

The integration of payment network infrastructure allows digital asset holders to transact across millions of commercial locations globally. Rather than requiring manual asset liquidation prior to purchase, the collateral-based framework automates conversions at the point of sale, reducing conversion friction while preserving long-term asset exposure.

"The expansion of digital finance requires infrastructure that balances user control with established payment networks," said David Imonitie, head of US sales at BIX. "By prioritizing self-custodial principles alongside transparent operational structures, BIX provides a functional bridge between decentralized digital assets and conventional retail settlement."

The BIX card program operates in conjunction with licensed banking partners and payment card issuers, ensuring that fiat settlement protocols adhere to established payment network standards across operating jurisdictions.
