💚 Kolo x Travala Live Podcast Recap

In our latest episode, we chatted with Polina S from Travala.com, №1 Web3 travel company, about Binance investments, $100M revenue, using crypto for travel, and global crypto adoption.

Here are the highlights:

🏦 Bank Card Woes – Paying abroad often triggers declines or blocks. Crypto avoids that headache.

🎨 User-Friendly Tools – Crypto apps today must be as easy as possible, so Web2 users can start use crypto without any complex guides.

🔋️️️️️️ Retention Mechanisms – Rewards keep people coming back! e.g. one Travala user got $40k in cashback traveling the globe.

🥇 Real Utility – The industry needs reliable platforms that push crypto adoption, not just hype and speculation.

💵 Investment advice – Don't chase VIP signals, get a job in crypto and put in the work to build your wealth.

🇪🇺 MiCA is Here – What It Means for Crypto

The EU just changed the crypto game. MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) is fully in action, bringing new rules that impact traders, exchanges, and stablecoins.

What’s different now?👇

🪙 Stablecoins Under Pressure – No algorithmic stablecoins. Issuers must prove full reserves & transparency.

🏦 Exchanges Need Licenses – No license, no business. CEXs in the EU must meet strict security & compliance standards.

💲 USDT Isn’t MiCA-Approved (Yet) – It doesn’t meet EU reserve rules and is being delisted from MiCA-compliant exchanges. But Tether is working on a way back.

🕵️‍♂️ No More Anonymous Transactions – The Transfer of Funds Regulation makes user identification a must, even for small crypto transfers.

💚 Kolo Can Operate in the EU – Our card & wallet are fully compliant during the transition period, and we’re working toward full MiCA certification.

Like it or hate it, definitely can't ingore it.

💡 Are Crypto Cards Really That Hard?

They say crypto is complicated. But have you ever tried dealing with a bank?

🏦 Banking in 2025:

• Paperwork, approvals, and endless waiting.
• Transfers take days (or worse, weeks).
• Hidden fees eating up your money.
• Your funds? Never yours — frozen anytime.

💰 Crypto Cards:

• Instant, borderless payments — no delays.
• Transparent fees — no middlemen taking a cut.
• 24/7 access — no bank hours, no gatekeepers.
• Pay in what you own — USDT, BTC, even PEPE.

With crypto, you decide. No declined payments, no limits.

💚 Ready to make the switch?

💱 CBDC vs Stablecoins

One side is government-driven, the other powered by private crypto issuers—and both aim to redefine how we handle money.

Key takeaways:

🏧 CBDCs are state-issued digital currencies, that have not so much in common with crypto.

💲 Stablecoins instead are issued by private companies, though it doesn't mean they are decentralized.

💚 Kolo crypto card lets you spend stablecoins like everyday currency, filling the void while CBDCs remain in development.

👱‍♂️ Trump’s second term CBDC plans hit pause while stablecoins surge to boost the USD.

🏦 Over 130 central banks (98% of word GDP) are testing digital cash — Nigeria leads the charge.

So which path could transform your wallet — and are any stablecoins truly decentralized?

💸 In 2024, over $1.4B was lost to phishing and wallet drains

“Won’t happen to me”? That mindset is exactly what attackers count on.

Here’s how to lower your risk:

🔐 Check what you sign — Use tools like Revoke.cash to cancel shady approvals.

💼 Split your wallets — Cold for storage, hot for spending, small-test wallets for unknown dApps.

📱 Change SMS 2FAs — SIM-swap scams cost users $72M. Use Google Authenticator or a hardware keys instead.

⚠️ Ignore the DMs & fake links — 50%+ of phishing starts there. Always double-check the domain.

💚 Kolo helps by design — Secure 2FA, fraud protection, and card freezing if something feels off.

One fake link. $8 million gone. Learn how not to be next – read the full article:
