Hey all, Striga exposes powerful (and compliant!) APIs to issue and manage a crypto card program, enabling builders to embed compliant real-time spending workflows for authorizing card transactions against a crypto balance. All this, right from onboarding to spending, controlled via API calls on your application and no licenses required to build on Striga! (Checkout https://docs.striga.com/) In today’s climate, setting up a simple custody or exchange business, let alone a card program either costs several millions + years of your time in jumping through regulatory hoops and approvals, or is simply denied by financial institutions. Striga is the first company licensed under a regime very similar to the proposed MiCA legislation, taking care of all the heavy lifting under the hood (banking connectors, liquidity, custodian connectors, issuing, processing, compliance, monitoring, reporting) and exposing simple yet powerful APIs to manage crypto, card issuing and banking in Europe. I started Striga in 2018 to build a better payments network utilizing Bitcoin, having experienced first hand the pains of gaining access to banking as an immigrant in Europe for moving funds across borders. As we got the company got off the ground with our initial consumer facing Bitcoin Lightning powered neo-bank in Europe (Lastbit) and shipping the world’s first ever non-custodial instant payments device, building Striga was inevitable, as it was practically impossible to add a new feature or innovate without jumping through hoops of approvals and legislation. Give it a go and if you like what you see, launch a card program with us and the first 500 physical cards issued are on us!
