Gemini has introduced a Solana-themed edition of its popular crypto credit card, allowing users to earn SOL rewards and stake them automatically for yield. The launch marks another major partnership between Gemini and leading blockchain ecosystems, following similar collaborations with Ripple and Bitcoin earlier this year.
With the crypto market regaining momentum, the move strengthens Solana’s growing presence in mainstream finance while expanding Gemini’s ecosystem of blockchain-based payment solutions.
Solana Rewards Turn Spending Into Staking
According to the blog post, the Solana edition offers up to 4% back in SOL on everyday purchases and up to 10% with select partners. Cardholders can also choose to auto-stake their rewards directly on Gemini, earning yields of up to 6.77%.
This structure allows users to convert spending into a yield-generating strategy. The company stated that customers who held Solana rewards for at least a year saw gains nearing 300%, underscoring the network’s strong performance.
Besides rewards, the card comes with no annual or foreign transaction fees and includes Mastercard World Elite perks. It is issued by WebBank and offers flexible crypto reward options. Gemini said the new edition was designed to appeal to Solana’s vibrant community and developer base, which has rapidly grown over the past year.
Gemini Expands Its Branded Card Line
Gemini’s credit cards have become a core growth driver for the exchange. According to data from Mizuho analysts, card sign-ups surged from 8,000 in 2024 to nearly 31,000 by August 2025. The company’s decision to launch multiple blockchain-themed cards reflects its strategy to integrate digital assets into consumer finance.
The exchange went public last month at $28 per share, reaching a market valuation above $3 billion. Its XRP Edition, introduced in August, was the first in a series of branded partnerships aimed at broadening user engagement. The Solana launch builds on that momentum by linking consumer spending with decentralized finance rewards.
Analysts See Solana as the Next Breakout
Solana currently trades at $187.38, reflecting a 2.42% daily decline. Despite the dip, analyst Yimin X noted that the asset is coiling within an ascending channel near $190.

Each test of the lower boundary has drawn strong buying interest. Consequently, Yimin believes this pattern could precede a 50% breakout, signaling continued institutional demand for SOL as its ecosystem expands.
