The world doesn’t need another generic debit card. But it does need financial tools that actually keep up with how people live, earn, store and move value.

Every so often, a product launch cuts through the noise.
Not because it’s flashy, but because it quietly rewires what’s possible.
Last week’s announcement from Kraken, unveiling their new Krak Card, is one of those moments. (More details about the card are now live on Kraken’s site - so you can see the card in all its glory)
At Monavate, we’re proud to be the infrastructure powering this launch. Not in the background. Not in theory. But in the real, hard-working, always-on way that makes great products feel effortless to the user. This is precisely the kind of innovation our platform was built for.
The world doesn’t need another generic debit card.
But it does need financial tools that actually keep up with how people live, earn, store and move value.
The Krak Card delivers on that. It bridges two worlds that have long been kept apart by legacy rails and outdated thinking:
Consumers get something powerful: control.
A single way to spend, move, and use value without jumping through hoops or navigating complexity. In a world full of friction, that’s a win.
This is the kind of evolution the market has been waiting for - and the type of step-change we want to help usher in.
At Monavate, our purpose is simple:
Turn payments into power.
Make them smarter. Simpler. And ready for the next decade, not the last one.
The Krak Card sits right at that intersection - the moment when Web3 stops being futuristic and becomes usable right now
One thing we’ll say openly: working with Kraken feels like a great fit.
They move with clarity. They build with intention. And they have zero interest in half-measures.
It’s refreshing, and it’s precisely why this launch has come together with such momentum.
As Barry Thirkell, Monavate’s Commercial Director, summed it up:
“The Krak Card has been a major milestone for us. Monavate’s infrastructure, responsiveness, and technical expertise enabled this vision to come to life quickly and with complete confidence. They’ve been an exceptional partner from day one.” - Barry Thirkell, Commercial Director, Monavate
Partnerships like this are rare.
Shared ambition. Shared standards. Shared obsession with getting things right.
Web3 and traditional finance aren’t two worlds. They’re one ecosystem in the making.
Consumers want tools that let them move through that ecosystem with confidence.
Businesses want rails that don’t break under pressure.
Regulators want stability and clarity.
And innovators want partners who can handle complexity without making it feel complex.
The Krak Card is a glimpse into that future - usable, compliant, powerful, and beautifully simple on the surface.
And for us at Monavate, it reinforces our mission: to be the foundation on which ambitious companies build. The platform that removes friction. The infrastructure that lets innovators ship the products that shape markets.
So, here’s to what’s next.
And here’s to the future of payments; smarter, faster, and finally catching up to the people who use them.
