Your morning coffee, the weekly grocery run, the ride across town. Now you can pay for all of it with USDC. The Gate US Card brings stablecoin spending into everyday life, and to mark the launch, eligible users can earn up to 130 USDC in rewards.

Here is the idea: get set up, apply for your card, and invite a few friends during the event. Rewards are limited and go out on a first-come, first-served basis, so being early helps.

Event Period: Aug 12, 2026, 10:00 – Sep 12, 2026, 10:00 (ET)

Reward 1: A welcome bonus to get you started

New to Gate US? Sign up, complete identity verification (KYC), and make your first deposit of any amount during the event to receive 10 USDC. An eligible deposit just means new funds added to your account. Moving funds between your own Gate US accounts does not count.

First 500 eligible users, while supplies last.

Reward 2: Get your Gate US Card

Apply during the event, and once you are approved, you will receive an additional 20 USDC.

A quick word on the card itself: it is issued by Lead Bank, Member FDIC, under a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc., with card services provided by Bridge. Your USDC and other crypto balances are not bank deposits and are not FDIC insured, and crypto values can rise or fall. Approval depends on identity verification and the issuer's eligibility checks, so not everyone will qualify.

First 500 eligible users, while supplies last.

Reward 3: Invite friends, earn together

For every friend you invite who signs up, completes KYC, and gets approved for a Gate US Card, you will earn 20 USDC. Because the reward depends on your friend being approved, it pays out once they complete all of those steps.

The referral pool is 10,000 USDC, with a maximum of 100 USDC per user, which is five approved referrals. Rewards go out first-come, first-served while the pool lasts.

Stacking your rewards

The three rewards combine. Do all of them and you can earn up to 130 USDC: 10 from the welcome bonus, 20 for your card, and up to 100 from referrals. The full 130 takes five approved referrals, so most people will land somewhere below that.

Event Rules:

To join, complete KYC and agree to the Gate US User Agreement, then tap "Join Now" to register for the campaign.
The three rewards in this event can be combined. If you join more than one separate Gate US promotion, you will receive rewards from one promotion only.
Reward 1 is for new users only, meaning people who sign up on Gate US after the event starts. Rewards 2 and 3 are open to everyone who registered for the campaign.
Rewards are paid in USDC within 14 business days after the event ends, once eligibility and anti-abuse checks are complete.
Accounts under the same identity count as one user. Subaccounts are not separate participants, and you cannot earn referral rewards by inviting your own additional accounts.
Gate US can disqualify anyone who tries to abuse the event. That includes self-referrals, fake or duplicate accounts, referring accounts you control, false identity information, and fraudulent card applications, and it can mean losing rewards and having the account reviewed.
Market makers, enterprises, institutions, and affiliate accounts are not eligible.
Gate US may change or end this promotion going forward only. Anything you have already earned through completed activity will still be honored.
Void where prohibited by law.
This event is not affiliated with Apple Inc.
