Speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph, Siu said that hi’s vision for their NFT debit card offering intersects with his own views on the interplays of culture and Web3. hi's flagship crypto-friendly Mastercard debit card allows users to personalize their physical cards with an NFT avatar which they verifiably own.
