During an interview, the project’s lead developer, known as B, disclosed an ambitious blueprint to develop a suite of financial services based on cryptocurrency. These services encompass bank cards and staking options, demonstrating the project’s commitment to broadening its horizons beyond mere token transactions.
In a statement delivered through a Telegram message, B unveiled a groundbreaking collaboration with a fintech company. This partnership will enable Floki to launch digital bank accounts backed by the FLOKI cryptocurrency, supported by a licensed partner operating across four major jurisdictions, namely Canada, Spain, Dominica, Australia, and the UAE.
Furthermore, B shared that these digital bank accounts will come with corresponding bank cards, which will be functional with the SWIFT and SEPA IBAN networks. This functionality will pave the way for seamless global transactions and transfers. The bank cards will also be compatible with leading payment networks VISA and Mastercard, thanks to a Swiss-based regulatory partner.

Following the announcement, there was a 6.7% decline in FLOKI token prices over the past day, settling at $0.0002143, which is a sharper drop compared to the average 3.5% dip among the top 20 tokens.
