According to the official announcement from Sonic Pay, this financial card supports USDC on the Sonic blockchain, allowing users to make purchases in 61 countries worldwide through Apple Pay or Google Pay.

In addition, the card offers both virtual and physical card options, which can be applied for and used immediately.

The competition in the encryption financial card market is fierce.

The launch of Sonic Pay brings to mind the MetaMask Card that was released last year in collaboration with Mastercard, allowing users to make payments directly using USDC, USDT, and wETH. This service expanded to the United States, South America, and Europe two weeks ago.

In contrast, Sonic Pay focuses more on USDC within the Sonic ecosystem, achieving seamless payments through the technical support of RedotPay, and without the need for additional fiat currency exchanges, which makes it a strong competitor in the encryption payment market.

Sonic Ecosystem Expansion: Aave Deployment to Support Development

The launch of Sonic Pay comes at a crucial moment in the development of the Sonic ecosystem. A few weeks ago, the Ethereum lending protocol Aave just announced the deployment of its lending market to Sonic, which not only enhances Sonic's usability but also lays the groundwork for the promotion of Sonic Pay.

The Sonic Foundation also provided $15 million in funding, 50 million Sonic native tokens S, and $800,000 in stablecoins as liquidity and rewards.

Sonic Pay creates a new era of encryption payments

The launch of Sonic Pay is seen as a key step for cryptocurrency payments to go mainstream, as well as Sonic's ambition and innovation in the field of crypto payments, demonstrating that the network is actively expanding the application scenarios of its L1 public chain.

With the launch of Sonic Pay, the service is expected to attract more users and developers, promoting the adoption of encryption in everyday payments and becoming an important bridge between the crypto world and real-world consumption.
