Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has expanded its credit card product line by introducing a new Solana (SOL)-themed credit card, announced on October 20, 2025. This card offers instant SOL token rewards for purchases and features an optional auto-staking function that allows users to earn up to 6.77% annual percentage yield (APY) on their rewards. Cardholders can unstake their assets at any time, with withdrawal times ranging from a few hours to several days.
The reward structure is category-based: 4% SOL rewards for fuel, electric vehicle charging, and transportation services; 3% for dining and food expenses; 2% for grocery shopping; and 1% for all other spending. This new product joins Gemini's existing Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP-themed cards, maintaining a consistent reward model of up to 4% cashback in cryptocurrencies.
According to a Gemini representative, the auto-staking feature is available to all current and future cardholders, not just those with the Solana card, and is designed to "provide the Solana community with a way to show their loyalty whenever they make a purchase." Gemini justified the focus on Solana due to its momentum, robust community, and high reward performance on the platform, aiming to enhance user engagement with the crypto ecosystem and Solana's growing DeFi infrastructure.
