The Coinbase debit card, which can be powered by cryptocurrencies, will now support Dai (DAI). This is a dollar-linked Stablecoin.
Coinbase, December 6, posted a post on its blog. It informs that Dai is the first stablecoin available on their card. The stock exchange product also supports the main cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) or Litecoin (LTC). The cost of 1 DAI is always 1 USD. Adding stablecoin to Coinbase card is a very interesting solution. This allows customers to issue and store cryptocurrencies without the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates – informs the announcement.

As it turns out, Dai is not just an extra resource to release. It is also a tool aimed at speeding up the adoption and development of alternative payment methods – as the head of marketing at Coinbase says – JD Millwood.
