Osmosis has unveiled a significant new feature, Osmosis Pay, enabling users to seamlessly spend their digital assets like cash. Powered by Cypher_HQ, the service leverages the VISA network, allowing users to make purchases at over 40 million merchants in more than 140 countries. This marks a major step in integrating digital assets into the everyday economy, providing a practical use case for crypto holders.

What is Osmosis Pay?

Osmosis Pay is a payment service designed to facilitate the use of digital assets for everyday transactions. It offers both a virtual card for instant online purchases and a physical card for use at brick-and-mortar stores.

With support for popular stablecoins like USDC and USDY, users can fund their Osmosis Pay cards with assets held directly on the Osmosis platform. Plans to expand support to more cryptocurrencies are already in the pipeline.

Key Features of Osmosis Pay

  • Global Reach: The Osmosis Pay card can be used at over 40 million merchants in 140+ countries, wherever VISA is accepted.


  • Dual Card Options: Users can choose between a virtual card for online transactions or a physical card for in-store purchases, offering flexibility in payment options.


  • Mobile Compatibility: Integration with Apple Pay and Google Pay allows users to add the Osmosis Pay card to their digital wallets for seamless contactless payments.


  • Enhanced Security: The card includes features like 3D Secure, customizable controls for spending limits, and the ability to manage transactions to keep funds secure.

This move highlights Osmosis' commitment to advancing decentralized finance and expanding the utility of digital assets beyond trading and staking. The ultimate goal here being to break down the barriers between traditional finance and digital assets by allowing users to spend their crypto as they would with fiat currency.
