WeLab Bank Launches Multi-Currency Debit Card with Mastercard

WeLab Bank has partnered with Mastercard to launch the WeLab Global Wallet Debit Card, becoming the first digital bank in Hong Kong to offer a multi-currency debit card.

The card allows customers to exchange up to 11 major currencies through the WeLab Bank App at cost price, with zero mark-up or hidden fees. Customers can also lock in their preferred foreign exchange (FX) rates.

Customers using the card at Mastercard merchants worldwide can spend in ten major foreign currencies. They do not have to pay the standard 1.95% foreign currency transaction fee.

A 0.4% cash rebate applies to all global spending. Cardholders can also access local currency from JETCO ATMs in Hong Kong and the Mastercard ATM network abroad, with withdrawals deducted from the corresponding foreign currency account.

Since its debut in December 2025, the card has seen overseas spending triple within a month.

WeLab Bank’s AI-powered rate comparison engine benchmarks FX rates against major Hong Kong banks, ensuring the “Best Rate Guarantee” for customers.

Tat Lee, Chief Executive of WeLab Bank, said:

They can also participate in Mastercard’s quarterly and monthly lucky draws, with prizes including up to HK$388,888 in spending credit.

Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation?

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…
