Breaking: Bitcoin users now have a new option for everyday spending – teh dolphin Card, a VISA debit card enabling bitcoin (BTC) payments without customary “know your customer” (KYC) verification, is now widely available.
Developed by aqua Wallet and JAN3,the Dolphin card allows users to spend bitcoin,in satoshis,at any merchant accepting VISA. The card bypasses intermediaries and KYC procedures, prioritizing financial autonomy. For a limited time, JAN3 is offering the card with no waiting list.
To obtain a Dolphin Card, users must:
- Access the Marketplace in aqua, enter an email address, and verify it.
- Fund the card with bitcoin, Liquid BTC (L-BTC), or tether USDT.
- Transfer funds via Layer 2, incurring a 1% fee (minimum 1 USD).
The project launched on May 15, 2025, initially distributing 50 cards to beta testers selected from a waiting list. These testers transferred funds from Aqua Wallet through accounts at JAN3, the company founded by Samson Mow focused on BTC adoption.
The Dolphin Card currently supports a load limit of up to $4,000 and utilizes the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions, and the Liquid Network for enhanced privacy by obscuring transferred amounts.
While currently digital-onyl for online purchases, the development team announced plans for integration with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Though,users should be aware that utilizing such cards involves entrusting funds to an intermediary like JAN3,which presents potential vulnerabilities to hacks or freezes. it is indeed recommended that users carefully review the security measures employed by these platforms and stay informed about the relevant fiscal and regulatory landscape.
