The SlashCard is scheduled to be officially released in 2025.
Slash, the next-generation decentralized payment tool, has signed a partnership agreement with a major Japanese credit card issuer to soon launch Japan's first compliant cryptocurrency credit card ——Slash Card. This is the first and currently the only credit card in Japan that fully complies with strict local cryptocurrency and payment regulations, marking an important breakthrough for Slash in promoting the adoption of cryptocurrency payments in Japan. As an important bridge between the fiat currency and cryptocurrency economies, Slash Card will provide convenient cryptocurrency payment solutions for consumers, merchants, developers and institutions in Japan.
Since 2022, Slash has been working to build a complete cryptocurrency payment ecosystem in Japan. Through deep cooperation with industry giants such as SoftBank Payment, LifeCard and Solana's Superteam Japan, Slash paves the way for cryptocurrency applications in daily financial transactions in Japan. At present, more than 4,000 merchants have been connected to the Slash Payment system, and the cumulative transaction volume has exceeded 1800 million. In 2024, Slash's native token $ SVL was successfully launched on major global exchanges such as Bybit, Gate, MEXC and Zoomex, further enhancing its influence and credibility in the global cryptocurrency market.
In the process of promoting the integration of traditional finance and cryptocurrency, Slash has actively explored innovative models and introduced Japanese IP content to the world of Web3. A typical case is the cooperation with the well-known mascot Chiitan☆, where Slash provides a full range of marketing and operational support for its community token $ CTAN (Chiitan☆ Coin). By participating in important international cryptocurrency activities such as TOKEN2049, Solana Breakpoint and Doge Day, Chiitan has successfully promoted the wide application of cryptocurrencies in both inside and outside Japan.
The launch of Slash Card not only makes cryptocurrency payments more convenient, but also opens up new space for the development of cryptocurrency projects both globally and locally in Japan. Through the innovative "Pay is to earn" airdrop mechanism, the project side can establish a closer interaction with Japanese users. In the process of promoting IP-driven crypto projects, Flash always focuses on long-term compliance operation and cost-effectiveness, which will strongly promote the formation of cryptocurrency application culture in Japan. It is reported that SlashCard is scheduled to be officially released in 2025, which will become an important milestone in the development of the crypto payment field in Japan.
