In a groundbreaking move that bridges the gap between cryptocurrency and everyday spending, Zebec has officially launched its Carbon Card in partnership with Mastercard. The card, which debuted on March 27, 2025, allows users to spend stablecoins like USDC at any merchant accepting Mastercard payments worldwide, converting digital assets to fiat currency at a 1:1 ratio at the point of sale.
What makes the Zebec Carbon Card stand out in the increasingly crowded crypto card market is its commitment to zero transaction fees—a feature that distinguishes it from competitors like MetaMask and Floki. Think of it as the difference between a toll road and a free highway; both get you where you’re going, but one doesn’t charge you for the privilege.
Privacy advocates will find plenty to celebrate with the Carbon Card. Unlike traditional financial products that require extensive personal information, Zebec has implemented a privacy-focused approach that bypasses standard ID checks. U.S. residents can activate their cards instantly without verification processes that typically expose user data.
Banking without the background check—Zebec’s Carbon Card lets you transact privately while traditional finance watches from the rearview mirror.
The card runs on Solana’s blockchain infrastructure—essentially the high-speed rail of crypto transactions compared to the horse-and-buggy pace of traditional banking systems. This foundation enables the instant settlement capabilities and low-cost transactions that make the card practical for daily use. The innovative Solana-based protocol simplifies both activation and everyday use of the card, making cryptocurrency payments more accessible to average consumers.
Users can enjoy spending limits of $1,000 per transaction with a daily cap of $10,000, and the card seamlessly integrates with both Apple Pay and Google Pay. The card’s instant readiness feature means users can begin making purchases within seconds of loading their digital assets. It’s like having your crypto wallet and traditional wallet merge into one super-wallet that works everywhere. Following the principles of non-custodial wallet ownership, users maintain complete control over their assets until the moment of transaction.
This launch represents more than just another payment card—it signals a significant shift in how digital assets integrate with mainstream financial services. As cryptocurrencies continue their march toward wider adoption, products like the Zebec Carbon Card are reshaping consumer expectations about financial privacy, convenience, and the everyday utility of digital assets.
The traditional banking world isn’t just getting disrupted; it’s getting completely reimagined.
