MiCA license + Carrefour channels, this setup is clearly targeting Europe's compliant payment giants, isn't it?

Cold wallet + gift card makes it easier to give gifts to elders who are not tech-savvy.

Cryptonow Invest supports Solana, and it seems SOL has gained a firm foothold among European retail investors.

Offline storage is praised, but do new users know how to activate the card when they get it? Supporting education needs to keep up.

Starting from 25 euros, much lower barrier than buying mining machines back then, true mass adoption.
