Revolut targets wider Dogecoin use through new physical payments card rollout

Revolut is expanding Dogecoin’s real-world use with a new physical debit card that enables users to spend the cryptocurrency across major payment networks.

The U.K.-based fintech said the card will launch first in the United Kingdom and the European Union, excluding Hungary, Switzerland, and Portugal. It will be accepted anywhere Visa and Mastercard are supported, effectively bringing Dogecoin into everyday transactions.

Revolut said purchases made with the card will not incur additional exchange fees, with payments settled at the live market rate at the time of transaction. The firm added that users may face tax obligations depending on local rules governing crypto spending.

The launch reflects a broader push across the crypto industry to bridge digital assets with traditional finance. Companies including Coinbase and Crypto.com have rolled out similar card programs as they look to make cryptocurrencies more usable beyond trading platforms.

The trend underscores a shift toward utility, as firms aim to turn crypto into a functional payment method rather than a purely speculative asset. Integrating tokens into established payment rails is seen as a key step in driving mainstream adoption.

Revolut has been steadily growing its crypto offering. In 2025, it integrated Polygon into its platform, allowing users to send remittances, stake POL tokens, and make crypto-backed payments within the app.

The Dogecoin card also comes as the company broadens its banking ambitions. Revolut secured approval in March to launch a fully licensed bank in the U.K. and has applied for a new banking license in the United States, signaling its intent to deepen its role in global financial services.
