Coinbase Card from major crypto exchange Coinbase now supports Dai (DAI), a stablecoin pegged to the United States dollar.
On Dec. 6 a blog post was published stating that Dai is the first stablecoin available on Coinbase Card, alongside major cryptocurrencies:
Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC)
The addition of the stablecoin to the Coinbase Card will allow customers to spend crypto with less volatility, as 1 DAI is equivalent to $1.
According to Coinbase’s head of growth marketing, JD Millwood, the addition of DAI is not just one more asset to spend but a tool intent on boosting the global adoption of alternative payment methods.
Millwood adds:
“It represents a small step on our big journey to make crypto accessible to all, through alternative payment options that suit our diverse customer base.”
