The Dolphin Card, Aqua Wallet’s VISA for bitcoin (BTC) payments, is now open to everyone. JAN3, its creative company, announces free availability and no waiting list for a limited time.
This release drives bitcoin adoption for everyday paymentsallowing you to spend sats (smallest unit of bitcoin) more privately than traditional methods, in any merchant that accepts Visa, without intermediaries or verification through “know your customer” (KYC) procedures.
The Aqua Wallet team detailed the procedures for applying for the card through a video tutorial. The step by step to request the Dolphin Card is as follows:
- Access the Marketplace in Aqua, enter email and verify.
- Top up with bitcoin, Liquid BTC (L-BTC) or tether USDT.
- Transfer via L2, with a 1% fee (minimum 1 USD).
As CriptoNoticias reported, the project began on May 15, 2025 with the first batch of 50 cards for beta testers selected from a waiting list. These users, confirmed by email, accessed accounts at JAN3—the company led by Samson Mow, focused on BTC adoption—to transfer funds from Aqua Wallet.
The Dolphin Card, with a load limit of up to 4,000 dollars, uses the Lightning Network for ultra-fast, low-cost transactions. It also integrates Liquid Network for greater privacy, hiding transferred amounts.
For now, the card is 100% digital for online purchases, although it would soon integrate with systems such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, according to an announcement from its development team.
This KYC-free approach to the Dolphin Card prioritizes financial autonomy, however, these types of cards involve ceding control to intermediaries like JAN3, vulnerable to hacks or freezes.
Therefore, it is recommended that users review the security mechanisms used by these platforms, as well as the fiscal and regulatory situation.
