Spending crypto in your everyday life

Artega uses Tether (also known as USDT). Although USDT can be converted into other currencies, it can also be spent directly.

If a supplier accepts crypto, you can use USDT to pay for materials, tools, or services without converting it to local currency first.

Prefer flexibility? You can also buy cash cards that work like prepaid debit cards, giving you access to everyday spending.

You can also buy gift cards for major brands, covering everything from tech to travel, food to fashion. We’ll break down the best options so you can keep your spending simple, private, and hassle-free. And if a merchant doesn’t accept Tether, you can easily convert it into other cryptocurrencies that they do accept.
