Slash Vision Labs is teaming up with a Japanese credit card company to launch the country’s first cryptocurrency-backed credit card in 2025. This isn’t just about payments—Slash is bringing a mix of blockchain and Japanese pop culture to life.
What Makes the Slash Card Different?
The Slash Card will work with almost any cryptocurrency across 10 blockchains. It’s fully compliant with Japan’s strict crypto laws and backed by partners like SoftBank Payment and Visa’s LifeCard. A cool feature is the “Pay-to-Earn” program, where users can earn crypto rewards—like airdrops—just for using the card.
Crypto Meets Culture
Slash Vision Labs is behind Chiitan Coin, a memecoin inspired by Japan’s unofficial otter mascot. They’re even creating a new trend called “Mascot Meme.” Slash also supports platforms like Comilio, where manga fans can buy and read content using cryptocurrency.
More Crypto Projects in Japan
Japanese exchange DMM Crypto worked with Progmat on a stablecoin project tied to its Seamoon Protocol, which offered anime and games. Unfortunately, this project was discontinued in November due to market shifts.
