The post Gemini About to Launch the World’s First XRP-Linked Mastercard appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Ripple’s XRP is back in the spotlight as new speculation suggests Gemini may soon launch an XRP-linked Mastercard. Hints from Gemini have fueled talk of a possible XRP-branded Mastercard, coming just as the token’s price climbs past $3.
With legal clarity, ETF hopes, and now hints of a real payment card, many believe XRP could be closer than ever to real mainstream use.
Gemini Teases with a Billboard
The latest discussion was triggered when Gemini shared an image of a large New York City billboard that read “Prepare your bags” with a date of August 25, 2025. This message quickly fueled theories within the crypto community that an XRP-branded payment card could be on the horizon.
While Gemini has yet to make an official announcement, the teaser was enough to set off speculation that the exchange is preparing to launch an XRP Mastercard.
Some see it as a step toward expanding XRP’s real-world use, while others remain cautious, noting Gemini already runs a crypto rewards card and hasn’t confirmed anything about XRP.
Ripple, Gemini, and Mastercard Partnering
Unverified reports suggest Ripple, Gemini, and Mastercard may be exploring a partnership, with WebBank as the card issuer to ensure compliance with U.S. financial regulation
Crypto lawyer John Deaton joined the conversation, tagging Gemini’s co-founders and suggesting the card could outperform existing crypto-linked cards. However, not everyone is convinced.
I’m going to make a friendly wager and bet the Gemini XRP Card will outdo other cards.
And for the record, I’m not being compensated in any way to offer this friendly wager. I just know a thing or two about the XRP Army. https://t.co/zJsLJoy9dD
Well-known XRP investor WrathofKahneman voiced doubts, pointing out Gemini already offers a crypto rewards card and urging for more reliable confirmation before celebrating too soon.
XRP Price Pushes Higher
Meanwhile, XRP’s price has been gaining momentum. Data shows the token jumped 8% in the last 24 hours, reaching $3.04 and outperforming Bitcoin. This rally follows a major legal win, the joint dismissal of the XRP lawsuit, which finally ends years of regulatory uncertainty.
On top of that, momentum around an XRP ETF is also growing. If approved, billions in institutional inflows could follow.
