UK-based fintech company Revolut unveiled a physical Dogecoin (DOGE)-themed debit card on May 18. It is the company's first physical crypto-branded payment product. The card features an LED display that illuminates when a user taps to pay.
The card is accepted anywhere Visa and Mastercard are supported. The initial rollout covers the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA), excluding Hungary, Switzerland, and Portugal, according to a company announcement. Revolut Dogecoin
No Extra Fees, but Tax Rules Apply
Users will not pay additional exchange fees when spending with the card. Revolut noted on X that transactions settle at the real-time exchange rate at the point of sale. The company also advised that using the card may trigger tax obligations depending on local rules.
Daily crypto card transactions have surpassed 100,000 on multiple days in recent weeks. Exchanges including Crypto(dot)com, Coinbase, and Gemini have expanded their card programs over the past year. Gemini has pointed to card operations as a growing revenue contributor.
Revolut has been building its crypto services for more than a year. In 2025, the company added Polygon to its app, enabling users to send remittances, stake POL tokens, and make in-app crypto card payments. The DOGE physical card is its most visible crypto product to date.
The company is also expanding its banking operations. In March 2026, Revolut received regulatory approval to open a fully licensed bank in the UK. The firm has also submitted a de novo banking license application in the US.
The card launch reflects a wider effort across the payments and crypto industries to connect digital assets to everyday commerce through established card networks.
Solana Draws BlackRock and Visa as Institutions Move In
Solana (SOL) attracted growing participation from institutional finance and payment firms in Q1 2026, even as prices across the broader crypto market declined, according to a new report from Messari published May 18. The research firm said the nature of activity on the network is shifting away from speculative trading and toward infrastructure for tokenized finance and payments.
Solana's real-world asset (RWA) market cap rose 43% quarter-over-quarter to $2.01 billion. The growth was led in part by the expansion of BlackRock and Securitize's tokenized money market fund BUIDL on the network. BUIDL grew to $525.4 million on Solana after Anchorage Digital added custody support. Anchorage held roughly 81% of the asset's supply on the network by the end of the quarter, Messari said.
