June with Zebec: Milestones, Partnerships and Plans
H1 by the Numbers
June has been another transformative month for Zebec Network, marking significant milestones and setting the stage for an exciting second half of the year. Here’s a look at our accomplishments in June and what’s on the horizon.
Zebec Black Goes Live
One of the standout achievements this past month was the launch of the Zebec Black Card — our debit reloadable crypto card, supported by Mastercard and available globally. Zebec Black offers unparalleled benefits and access, adding choices for how our clients interact with their digital assets.
Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with users praising the added value the card brings to their financial toolkit.
In the first few weeks since Zebec Black launch, we have seen load volumes and the number of cards issued consistently double week on week.
We are also seeing card transaction volumes with Zebec Black being substantially greater compared with the Zebec Instant. If this trend continues, card spend volume with Black to exceed $5M (annualized).
We are pleased to now offer card options that best fit the needs of different types of clients in our ecosystem. Zebec Black — with its no spend limit and reloadable features — has found its own following and is able to serve the needs of our high-end clients.

The all-time favorite among our offerings, Zebec Instant, is returning in Q3 to provide convenient crypto prepaid card option for smaller daily expenditures of up to $1000.
We introduced the Black card after listening to the wishes of our clients and will continue to expand our offerings and features to better serve our community and the broader crypto ecosystem. We are grateful for the confidence our users place in us.
Integrations and Partnerships Are Back!
We are thrilled to announce the return of integrations and partnerships with our cards, a crucial component of our strategy to grow awareness about our products and offer utility and marketing opportunities to varied crypto projects, including popular memecoins.
There are two priorities for our Black integrations:
1. Add support for tokens incorporated into Zebec Instant: MOG, MUMU announced in June, with others (BONK, SILLY, BRETT, etc.) adding in the upcoming weeks.
2. Add new supported tokens from various chains to the Zebec Black: June opened with some of the brightest stars of the meme season — PEIPEI, BIAO, SCRAT — with more announcements in the works.
Airdrops Program Relaunch
Many integrations and partnerships come with Airdrop rewards, offering users more opportunities to benefit from their engagement with Zebec. Stay tuned for official airdrop announcements and participation details.
More in the Pipeline
Our roadmap for the coming months is packed with exciting developments. Next on the horizon is the integration with Solana and the relaunch of our blockbuster Instant Zebec.
“Future of Money” — Conversations with the Experts
Our interview series “Future of Money” hosted in studio in June our peers and principals from some of the most respected crypto, financial, and fintech firms — ONDO Finance, FT Partners, ZeroHash, Propy, Helium, Hivemapper, Filecoin, Maple Finance among others.
Our interviews and panels — some already released and others still in editing — cover the hottest topics in the space: bringing on-chain real-world assets (RWA), trends and progress in the decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), decentralized finance, and atomic payments on blockchain.
These engagements underscore Zebec’s thought leadership and serve as our contribution to continued industry-wide dialogue and education, important for broader adoption and understanding.

DePin / PoS Launch On-track
In June, the team made significant progress in preparation for the launch of our point-of-sale terminals. With pre-orders already in the hundreds for our two Phase I models exceeding expectations, we are in the testing stages, on track for the launch in Q3 2024.

Circle Alliance Designation
With USDC at the heart of all of our products, Zebec Network was honored to receive the Circle Alliance official designation this month. This recognition affirms our commitment to integrating stablecoins and enhancing financial inclusion through blockchain technology.
M&A: Closing the Next Payroll Deal
In line with our growth strategy, our M&A team is closing in on our next major acquisition deal. This move is expected not only to multiply the ranks of 50,000 monthly employees we serve, but also to expand our technology platform and integrations with UKG — another major HR tech platform.
