I'm in the European union, when will the card be available here?

Question

I've tried to ask this question in the recent AMA but it was not answered. Can i get an official statement on this?

I have been hearing it's "imminent" for months. Maybe this means something different in American English 🤔

Imminent means “soon”; soon means “almost”; almost means “eventually”, and eventually means “I have no idea”. 😂

Lol. Many things can be left to interpretation. One persons concept of imminent can be completely different than another person, yet still mean the same thing

This was answered in the AMA, but we don't have a timeline for availability outside the US yet. Please use our waitlist to indicate interest so we can work on card options for other geographies in future!

it's a credit card, you will not see it in Europe really soon.. I doubt even within this year honestly..

“It” being a credit card has nothing to do with how soon Europeans are gonna see it. It’s purely a logistic issue rather than payment infrastructure.

It's an american credit card. What kind of logistic problem there should be??

Shipping, customer base and support.

You think American cc’s only work in the US?

Obviously not, but i think the legal issues are a pain in the ass.

Do you think it's difficult to ship or have support from US ?

The legal stuff are crazy and we will never see the cart within this year, IF we will ever see it.

What is so great about the BlockFi credit card? What valuable features does it have?

From what I've seen on here it's most useful for the 2% or so APY boost on stablecoins.

2% more than other places like Celsius, Nexo...?

2% more than the current 8.6% blockfi currently offers.
