ADA launches its first operational Cardano cards

The market has been moving in huge waves these past months as there has been plenty of developments from hard forks, discussions to future designs that have been taking in the Blockchain industry. This has also put the well known cryptocurrency Cardano to launch Cardano cards, a new product for its payment system in South Korea.

A commercial development branch at Cardano called Emurgo, has joined in a partnership with Metaps in order to build Metaps Plus. The development of this platform will be able to power up the payment processing of these new Cardano cards.

These new Cardano cards are currently available through over 33,000 retailers in South Korea to facilitate merchants when doing direct payments. As reported, these Cardano cards can already be used at familiar convenience stores like Emart24 and GS25.

According to a comment by the CEO of Emurgo (Ken Kodama), he is set to strive for a target of an estimated 30 million people.

The cryptocurrency market is in full gear with Cardano cards, their payment system

In a report from the CEO at Metaps plus, Seungyeon Kim stated that the team is happy to work with ADA and their whole team. The team is ready for the road ahead, and in another statement, he added that Emurgo is currently the only partner that is initialising a deep understanding of offline payment integration in the crypto industry.

In a report he said:

“… strategic focus is to provide a practical application for cryptocurrencies. We plan to develop this product further to ensure we have solid use cases for broader offline adoption with Korean online and offline merchants."

According to Kodama, mainstream products like the ADA card is a huge step forward towards the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies worldwide as users of these digital currencies are now able to make payment purchases and transact directly via their mobile phones with an app or Dapp.

The current process of charging ADA coins onto a crypto card, will make users of ADA take their cards and physically hold and use them anywhere. Also, access will be granted to them daily without any worries of trying to transfer money in more than one step.

He thinks that this development along side the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies utilising this new method of payment will boost the crypto market into the mainstream.
