Development of the XRP Credit Card
Gemini initially hinted at an XRP-related product, generating significant interest in the cryptocurrency community. Following this, the company put up a billboard in Manhattan, emphasizing the card's release and encouraging users to prepare for August 25.
Features of the XRP Credit Card
The XRP Edition credit card allows users to earn up to 4% cashback on every purchase with no annual fee. Rewards are provided instantly, making the card's use advantageous. Different cashback categories are planned: 4% for gas and transit services, 3% for dining, and 2% for grocery purchases. All rewards are paid out in XRP.
