Earn SOL on Purchases and Auto Stake for Yield
Users earn instant SOL rewards on every purchase, with the option to automatically stake tokens through Gemini to earn up to 6.77 percent APY. This turns spending into a yield generating strategy without any additional steps from the cardholder.
Gemini confirmed that auto staking is available for all current and future Gemini credit card holders, not only for Solana card users. Once staked, SOL can be unstaked anytime, although withdrawal times can vary between a few hours and several days depending on the network.
Reward Structure and Card Benefits
The Solana Credit Card features a category based reward model, paying users in crypto based on spending types:
• 4 percent back on gas, EV charging, and rideshare
• 3 percent back on dining
• 2 percent back on groceries
• 1 percent back on all other purchases
In certain promotions with partner brands, rewards can reach up to 10 percent back.
The card comes with no annual fees, no foreign transaction fees, and includes Mastercard World Elite benefits such as travel perks, insurance, and exclusive offers. It is issued by WebBank.
Why Solana? Momentum, Community and Strong Performance
Gemini stated that Solana was a natural choice for its next card edition due to the network’s momentum, active developer community, and strong staking yield performance. Solana has been one of the top performing reward tokens on Gemini since 2021.
According to analysis from CoinMarketCap, users who selected SOL as their credit card reward and held for at least one year saw appreciation of around 300 percent, driven by Solana’s market growth and network expansion over time.
Reference:
SOL’s price history reflects both volatility and long term resilience. After trading under 10 dollars in early 2021, it surged above 250 dollars by year end, crashed to around 8 dollars after the FTX collapse in 2022, then rebounded and set a new all time high above 290 dollars earlier this year.
A Strategic Launch for Gemini
This new product launch follows Gemini’s recent NASDAQ IPO, where the company listed shares at 28 dollars and raised over 425 million dollars at a valuation exceeding 3 billion dollars. The Solana Card follows the XRP edition launched earlier, reinforcing Gemini’s strategy to expand crypto payment products linked to leading blockchain ecosystems.
The Gemini Solana Credit Card strengthens the bridge between traditional payments and Web3 finance, making it easier for users to earn, stake, and grow crypto passively with everyday purchases.
