Tangem Expands Visa Crypto Card as Demand Outpaces Access

The notable point is that a self-custodial wallet is being paired with Visa rails, which keeps users in control of keys while still reaching conventional payment networks — a combination that has historically been awkward to pull off. The company's own framing, that demand is strongest where access is thinnest, suggests the constraint is distribution and licensing rather than user appetite. Whether that gap narrows, or simply shifts to whichever markets regulators and card networks allow next, is the open question worth watching.
