GLOGemini Expands Crypto Rewards Portfolio with Solana Credit Card
Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has launched a Solana edition of its Gemini Credit Card, allowing users to earn Solana (SOL) rewards on purchases and automatically stake those rewards directly from their Gemini accounts. The card, issued by WebBank on the Mastercard network, is the latest addition to Gemini’s growing suite of cryptocurrency reward products.
In a blog post on October 20, 2025, Gemini said cardholders can earn:
-
Up to 4% back on gas, EV charging, and rideshare purchases
-
3% back on dining
-
2% back on groceries
-
1% back on all other transactions
-
Up to 10% back at select merchants during promotional periods

Rewards are paid in Solana (SOL) and can be automatically staked—meaning the earned cryptocurrency is locked into the Solana network to help validate transactions and maintain blockchain security, while generating additional staking yields.
Gemini said Solana’s “momentum, speed, and strong developer ecosystem” made it a natural choice for expansion. “Launching a Solana edition of the Gemini Credit Card was a logical choice given Solana’s growth and active community,” the company noted, adding that Solana has been one of the highest-performing crypto rewards optionsamong Gemini customers in 2025.
This release follows Gemini’s August 2025 partnership with Ripple, which produced an XRP Edition of the credit card. That card allows customers to earn XRP rewards and was similarly positioned as a way to make crypto engagement “simple and approachable,” according to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
The Solana edition represents the next phase of Gemini’s effort to make crypto accumulation frictionless. Co-founder Tyler Winklevoss has long argued that crypto rewards transform everyday spending into passive investment. “Rather than deciding when to buy crypto, customers can do so automatically through their everyday purchases,” he said when Gemini first announced its crypto rewards card in 2021.
Industry analysts note that Gemini’s expansion into Solana rewards aligns with broader trends in tokenized loyalty programs and decentralized finance (DeFi) integration with consumer payments. With Solana’s high transaction throughput and active retail interest, this move also strengthens Gemini’s appeal to the growing segment of crypto-native users seeking yield-generating, utility-based payment tools.
Global Loyalty Organisation Take:
Gemini’s Solana credit card underscores how financial loyalty is evolving beyond points and miles into tokenized, yield-bearing ecosystems. By letting customers earn and stake crypto simultaneously, Gemini bridges spending, investing, and network participation in one seamless motion. This model—where loyalty rewards are productive digital assets rather than static balances—foreshadows a new era of Web3-powered engagement, where consumers not only earn value but actively contribute to the ecosystems they support. For loyalty strategists, the takeaway is clear: the future of retention lies at the intersection of financial empowerment, decentralization, and community ownership.
