Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today unveiled a pair of new features designed to make it easier than ever for its European users to turn digital assets into spendable euros. Thanks to a collaboration with Mastercard Move, Mastercard’s suite of money movement solutions, Binance customers across the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom can now sell cryptocurrency or withdraw their existing Euro balance directly to a linked Mastercard debit or credit card, with funds arriving in near-real time.
Until now, crypto traders and investors looking to cash out often faced a patchwork of bank transfers, third-party services and multi–step processes that could take days to complete. Binance’s new Sell to Card and Withdraw to Card services aim to streamline that journey, packing what used to be a headache into three simple steps: pick an asset or balance, choose “Card” as the payment method, and wait for the money to land in your bank’s card account.
Thomas Gregory, Binance’s Vice President of Fiat, explained that the company’s relentless focus on user experience drove this launch. With nearly 300 million users worldwide, Binance knows its community wants fast, reliable access to their funds, and these features deliver exactly that. Binance’s partnership with Mastercard Move brings traditional finance and crypto closer than ever before.
Convert Crypto to Cash Instantly
For customers who hold Bitcoin, Ethereum or dozens of other supported tokens, the Sell to Card option lets them convert their crypto holdings directly into euros and send the proceeds to their Mastercard. Gregory emphasized that the process is designed to feel familiar to anyone who’s ever used an online payment app. You don’t need to learn a new platform or juggle multiple services. Everything happens within Binance, in near real time.
Meanwhile, users who already have a euro balance sitting in their Binance account, perhaps from previous trades or fiat deposits, can skip the conversion step altogether. The Withdraw to Card feature simply moves those funds from their Binance wallet to their Mastercard, again in seconds rather than days. According to Mastercard’s Executive Vice President of Global Partnerships, Scott Abrahams, the collaboration shows a broader shift.
They are unlocking the true potential of crypto assets for everyday use. By integrating with Binance, Mastercard is giving people a seamless way to access their money, whether it’s to pay the rent, buy groceries, or invest in their next opportunity. While euro-based payouts are the focus at launch, Binance has hinted that additional fiat currencies will be supported soon.
For now, users in Europe can begin using both Sell to Card and Withdraw to Card by visiting the “Buy & Sell” section of the Binance app or website. After selecting their desired transaction, sell or withdraw, they simply choose “Card” as their payment method, link an eligible Mastercard if they haven’t already, and follow the on-screen prompts.
The move could help cement Binance’s position not just as a trading venue, but as a full-fledged financial services provider. Bridging the gap between crypto and traditional finance has been a major sticking point for mass adoption. By offering direct-to-card payouts, Binance is tackling one of the last remaining hurdles: turning your tokens into usable cash, fast.
Binance’s embrace of Mastercard Move follows other recent innovations aimed at bringing digital assets into everyday life. Earlier this year, the exchange expanded its peer-to-peer trading network and rolled out crypto-backed loans in select markets. But the introduction of card-based cash-outs may prove the most tangible benefit for the average user.
Overall, Binance and Mastercard both see this as just the beginning. Gregory hinted that deeper integrations and additional payout rails are on the roadmap. Their goal is to offer every customer the freedom to move money however and whenever they choose. For now, European users have one fewer barrier between their crypto and real-world spending.
