BitSpider has highlighted its previously developed Crypto POS platform following the submission of its application for authorization as a crypto-asset service provider under MiCA in Estonia. The platform introduced an alternative approach to crypto payments by enabling customers to complete transactions using a tap-and-PIN experience similar to a traditional bank card, without relying solely on QR code scanning.
The BitSpider Crypto POS offered two payment methods in a single device. A customer could pay by scanning a QR code from a self-custody wallet or a compatible wallet application. Alternatively, a customer could tap a BitSpider near-field communication (NFC) card on the terminal, enter a PIN, select a coin and confirm, without a smartphone, wallet application or QR scanning. The card-and-PIN method operated across multiple blockchains and stablecoins, whereas comparable tap-to-pay crypto cards available at the time were generally limited to Bitcoin. Similar tap-and-PIN crypto card products from other providers entered the market in 2025, after BitSpider had designed and demonstrated the concept in 2024.
