The limited edition, 40-gram card signals a push into premium, high-end financial products within the Solana ecosystem.
September 3, 2025
Solana's ecosystem is expanding into luxury financial products with the introduction of an invite-only, solid gold card issued by KAST The card, which weighs nearly 40 grams, has a production cost of over $10,000, positioning it as a high-end item for a select clientele. The card's thickness, likened to two American Express Centurion cards stacked together, makes it too thick to be swiped, emphasizing its status as a luxury symbol rather than a conventional payment card.
This move signals a strategic push by KAST to attract high-net-worth individuals and explore new avenues for brand differentiation in the competitive blockchain space. The introduction of such a premium product could pave the way for further integration of luxury and finance within the Solana ecosystem, potentially attracting new users and developers.
