- Sui collaborates with xMoney and xPortal to launch a virtual Mastercard for EU crypto users.
- Users can link their Sui wallet to Apple Pay or Google Pay, making purchases at 20,000 merchants.

Sui has announced a collaboration with xMoney and xPortal to launch its virtual Mastercard for European users. Enabling them to use cryptocurrency as a form of cash. This is a new plan for Sui’s growth to occur in the realm of everyday payments and digital financing. The ideal long-term partnership aims to enable cryptocurrency holders to transact in the real economy for products and services.
Sui has now included an in-app Sui wallet into the xPortal app, which currently has over 2.5 million users. This wallet also enables customers to connect a Mastercard-branded payment card to Apple Pay or Google Pay. After connecting, customers can make purchases at over 20,000 merchants that accept contactless payments.
Sui Ecosystem Advancement
While, the digital Mastercard allows users to spend crypto in a convenient way while still having possession of the currency. The card thus allows users to complete transactions in stores by exchanging cryptocurrency for fiat currency. This new item positions Sui among a short list of the platforms that support real-world payments in a compliant manner and initially for the EU area.
However, the Sui Foundation’s Managing Director, Christian Thompson, said that the new product is a new step towards the development of the Sui Ecosystem. He pointed out that the initiative contributes to the concept of making cryptocurrency more accessible. And offers consumers a way to employ their virtual currencies for real-life purposes.
Sergiu Biris, the CEO of xPortal, said that Sui has performed exceptionally well, and this has been boosted by its strong community base. On the matter of integration, Biris noted that the integration into xMoney’s licensed infrastructure is an added advantage to the program. However, Greg Siourounis, the CEO of xMoney, reported that the company’s focus is on easing the adoption of cryptocurrency among its users.
Physical Card Launch
As part of this collaboration, in 2025, a physical Mastercard will be available to users, offering even more freedom. While, the physical card will be as functional as the current one, enabling users to pay with cryptocurrencies at merchants that accept Mastercard.
Sui’s future strategy is to expand into the United States market and introduce additional enterprise services in the future. More information regarding these programs is expected to be unveiled at the Sui Basecamp event. This launch is quite a significant step towards the adoption of cryptocurrency payment solutions from Sui.
