How to spend USDT without selling it on an exchange

Updated: 2026-09-27

The usual route is long: exchange, bank transfer, waiting, questions about the

source of funds. A card that accepts stablecoins directly removes the middle:

you send USDT or USDC to your balance and pay in dollars.

How it works with alt.vu

Visa Platinum, virtual, settled in US dollars. You top the balance up with

USDT or USDC on TRON, BNB Chain, Polygon or TON. Issuing costs $25 once, there

is no monthly fee, and we add 1% on top of each purchase. Sign-up takes about

two minutes and identity is verified with a passport.

The card does not work inside Russia — it is for purchases and services

outside it.

Your balance is credited at 1:1 against the dollar — a stablecoin is already a

dollar, and a provider that takes a cut on the top-up rate is charging you

twice.

Questions and answers

Which networks are supported

TRON, BNB Chain, Polygon and TON, for both USDT and USDC.

What happens if I send on another network

The transfer will not arrive. Always copy the address from the app for the

exact network you are sending from.

How long does a top-up take

Minutes in normal network conditions.

Is there a fee for topping up

No. You pay the network's own transfer fee, which goes to the network and not

to us.

Does it work in Russia

No.
