【ChainNews】The Phantom wallet is making significant moves. This week, early access to the Phantom Cash debit card was launched, with US users prioritized for the experience, followed by the international version.

Users who have completed identity verification can directly activate this debit card—which supports both Apple Pay and Google Pay for quick payments—making currency conversion and withdrawals between fiat and crypto assets relatively smoother. Besides card payments, users can also deposit and withdraw funds via bank transfers.

The official emphasizes an important point: Phantom itself is not a bank. The prepaid Visa card is issued by Lead Bank and managed operationally by Bridge Ventures. Of course, some fees may be incurred during use.

Currently, Phantom is still expanding access; users on the waiting list can look forward to receiving experience opportunities gradually. From the perspective of the debit card, wallet providers are delving into payment and settlement, attempting to connect on-chain and off-chain fund flows—this has practical significance for upgrading the user experience for ordinary users.

Phantom is causing trouble again... This time, they integrated Apple Pay directly with the debit card, which is indeed impressive.

It's the same story again. Once Apple Pay gets support, it feels like it's about to break into the mainstream, right... But let me wait. Lead Bank issuing cards, Bridge managing operations, Phantom hiding behind the scenes claiming they're not a bank? I've heard this excuse too many times.

Another debit card? Phantom is really making us completely dependent on it... Direct withdrawal with Apple Pay is indeed convenient, but I'm just worried about the fees hitting me hard again.

Phantom really wants to take a bite of the on-chain payment cake, but issuing cards through Lead Bank still feels a bit complicated.

I've been wanting a crypto card for a long time, but I need to check the fees carefully to avoid hidden charges...

Withdrawing funds has finally become less troublesome, and direct Apple Pay connection is a good improvement... However, the fees on Lead Bank need to be checked carefully, so it doesn't turn into another hidden fee situation.
