Summarize
- The launch date is January 29, 2026.
- Users can spend USDT directly from their wallets without needing banks or preloads.
- 2% fee on currency swaps; Brazilian users don’t have to pay IOF tax.
- It was first available in El Salvador, where the laws are friendly to Bitcoin.
- Partners with Tether for stablecoin support and Visa for worldwide acceptance.
El Salvador is still the country that uses the most crypto. Now, Truther, a payments company, is adding to that by releasing a special Visa card. This card lets people pay with USDT, which is a stable digital dollar, straight from their own crypto wallets. Not giving anyone else control.
This crypto card is not custodial, unlike regular ones. That means you still have full control over your USDT. You don’t have to put money in ahead of time or trust a company to keep it safe. Simply link your wallet and use it anywhere Visa is accepted. It’s like cash, but it’s digital and works anywhere.
On January 29, 2026, the card will be available in El Salvador. Why there? In 2021, the government made Bitcoin legal money. People use stablecoins like USDT to buy things every day. President Nayib Bukele has worked hard to get crypto to help people who don’t have banks.
When you change USDT to local cash, you should expect to pay a 2% fee. People in Brazil get a bonus: they don’t have to pay the IOF tax on foreign purchases. Anyone in El Salvador who has a USDT wallet can apply, but it could spread to other places later.
“This empowers users to truly own their money while shopping globally.,” said the CEO of Truther. It’s a nod to financial freedom, which fits with El Salvador’s vibe.
