1inch Network, in collaboration with crypto card developer Baanx and payment giant Mastercard, announced the launch of the 1inch Card. 
The new web3 debit card aims to simplify the use of <a href="https://crypto.news/market-cap/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/market-cap/" rel="">cryptocurrencies</a> for everyday transactions. 
“The 1inch Card will allow users to use their crypto for online and in-person purchases and make cash withdrawals at supported ATMs through seamless crypto-to-fiat conversion,” according to a <a href="https://blog.1inch.io/1inch-launches-a-web3-debit-card-in-partnership-with-mastercard-and-crypto-life/" data-type="link" data-id="https://blog.1inch.io/1inch-launches-a-web3-debit-card-in-partnership-with-mastercard-and-crypto-life/" target="_blank" rel="">press release</a>. 
The move is part of a growing trend among large payment networks, such as Mastercard and Visa, to integrate <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/web3/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/web3/" rel="">web3</a> applications and wallets into their payment systems. 
“We already have a lot of people who are using <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/1inch/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/1inch/" rel="">1inch</a> for swaps, limit orders, and also as a developer portal. But we wanted to also onboard the man on the street who is holding crypto,” 1inch Co-Founder Sergej Kunz said in the release. 
In addition to providing a bridge between digital and fiat currencies, the 1inch Card comes in physical and virtual forms, ensuring users receive the full benefits of a standard debit card.
