Turn Your Everyday Spending Into Crypto Rewards with the Upgraded Gate Card
Crypto payments are becoming more practical, and the upgraded Gate Card is making every purchase even more rewarding. Officially launched on July 2, 2026, the latest rewards program allows eligible users to earn up to 8% cashback, transforming routine spending into an opportunity to accumulate more value. Whether you're shopping online, paying for travel, or making everyday purchases, the new system is designed to reward active users with higher returns.
A smarter cashback system built around six reward tiers
The upgraded program introduces a six-tier cashback structure based on a flexible points system. Your card tier is determined by either your Gate VIP level or your monthly Gate Card spending—whichever is higher. This means both active traders and regular card users have a clear path toward unlocking better rewards.
The structure starts with T0, offering a 1x reward multiplier, while T2 through T5 progressively increase earning potential. Users who reach T5 enjoy the maximum 8x multiplier, equivalent to 8.00% cashback, making it one of the most rewarding crypto card programs available.
Spending more helps unlock bigger rewards
One of the biggest improvements is that users don't need exceptionally high trading activity to move up the reward ladder.
Monthly spending of 3,000 USDT qualifies for the T2 2% cashback tier, while spending 15,000 USDT during a month unlocks the highest T5 tier, allowing eligible users to receive 8% cashback. Newly achieved tiers become active during the following month and remain valid throughout that period, giving users a simple and predictable reward system.
Flexible points with long-term value
Every eligible transaction earns reward points that can later be redeemed for crypto assets including USDT and GT, allowing rewards to remain inside the digital asset ecosystem.
Another major advantage is flexibility. Points never expire, meaning users don't have to worry about redemption deadlines or losing accumulated rewards over time. Each membership tier also comes with clearly defined monthly earning caps and cashback limits, helping users understand their maximum reward potential.
More than cashback: Everyday convenience
The Gate Card isn't only about earning rewards—it's designed for real-world usability.
As a Visa Platinum Card, it allows users to spend directly from their Gate.io balance without manually converting assets beforehand. Supported cryptocurrencies include USDT, BTC, GT, and ETH, creating a seamless payment experience for everyday transactions.
The card also comes with no application fee, no annual fee, and no monthly maintenance fee. Users can instantly generate a virtual card for immediate online payments while also choosing from exclusive card designs that match their preferences.
Additional benefits continue to expand
Gate continues adding value through strategic partnerships and exclusive member benefits.
The Gate Card × Printemps Paris collaboration offers shoppers up to a 16% tax refund plus an additional 5% discount, while football-themed card designs and the new reward system further enhance the overall experience. Users holding VIP 5 or higher also receive access to personal shopping advisor services, adding premium lifestyle benefits beyond crypto rewards.
The upgraded Gate Card brings together generous cashback, flexible reward points, zero annual fees, and worldwide Visa acceptance into one complete payment solution. With up to 8% cashback, spending-based tier upgrades, never-expiring points, and direct crypto payments, it offers a practical way to turn everyday purchases into long-term digital asset rewards.
For users looking to make crypto part of daily life while maximizing value on every transaction, the latest Gate Card upgrade represents a significant step forward.

Coldcard wallet attack surpasses $116 million as firmware vulnerability continues to impact users
A major security incident continues to unfold across the Bitcoin ecosystem as the ongoing Coldcard hardware wallet attack grows in scale. What initially appeared to be a targeted exploit has developed into one of the largest self-custody security events in Bitcoin's history, with on-chain investigations showing losses continuing to increase through early August.
The incident serves as a powerful reminder that even trusted security products require continuous monitoring, timely updates, and strong operational security practices.
How the vulnerability was exploited
According to research from Galaxy Research, the attack is linked to a firmware vulnerability affecting certain Coldcard devices dating back to March 2021.
The flaw weakened the randomness used during seed phrase generation. Since a wallet's seed phrase is responsible for creating its private keys, reduced randomness makes those keys significantly easier to predict. An attacker can potentially reconstruct affected wallets offline without needing physical access to the device itself.
The first attack wave demonstrated how serious the issue had become, compromising 1,196 wallet addresses within just 41 minutes and draining approximately 1,082 BTC, valued at around $70 million at that time.
Losses continue to rise
Subsequent attack waves expanded the damage considerably.
By August 3, estimated losses had climbed to approximately 1,367 BTC, worth nearly $89 million. Later estimates reported by Forbes placed total losses at more than $116 million, with over 5,200 wallet addresses believed to have been affected.
One widely reported incident involved a single user losing approximately C$1.6 million, despite following commonly recommended hardware wallet security practices.
Galaxy Research has also reported roughly 600 blockchain addresses believed to be associated with the attackers to federal investigators and cybersecurity organizations to support the ongoing investigation.
Manufacturers respond with security updates
The vulnerability has also been confirmed by Block's Bitcoin Engineering and Security team, which attributed the issue to a coding error affecting specific firmware versions.
In response, Coinkite has released updated firmware designed to prevent newly created wallets from being affected going forward. Company CEO Rodolfo Novak has encouraged users to transfer their assets immediately, while Jan3 CEO Samson Mow has recommended that all Coldcard users migrate to newly generated wallets regardless of firmware version as a precaution.
The consensus among security experts is that acting quickly remains the safest course of action.
What this means for self-custody
Importantly, researchers emphasize that this incident should not be interpreted as evidence that self-custody itself is fundamentally unsafe.
Instead, it highlights a different category of risk centered around firmware integrity, seed generation, and operational security, rather than the exchange-related risks often associated with centralized platforms.
According to Blockaid, most cryptocurrency losses during the first half of 2026 were linked to compromised private keys and operational security failures instead of smart contract vulnerabilities, placing the Coldcard incident within a broader industry trend.
Key lessons for hardware wallet users
The ongoing Coldcard incident reinforces several important security principles.
Hardware wallet protection depends not only on keeping devices offline but also on trustworthy firmware, secure seed generation, and responding quickly whenever verified vulnerabilities are discovered.
Security experts continue to recommend maintaining diversified storage strategies, verifying wallet creation procedures, and migrating assets promptly if a security issue is identified.
The Coldcard firmware vulnerability has now resulted in estimated losses exceeding $116 million, making it one of the most significant Bitcoin hardware wallet security incidents on record.
As investigations continue and mitigation efforts expand, the case highlights an important reality for the entire crypto industry: strong security requires constant vigilance. Protecting digital assets depends not only on choosing trusted hardware but also on maintaining updated software, secure operational practices, and responding rapidly whenever credible security risks emerge.
