The Solana edition of the Gemini Credit Card is here. Featuring a design that pays tribute to the Solana brand, the newest Gemini Credit Card design provides a new way for the Solana community to display their enthusiasm and earn up to 4% Solana rewards back with every purchase.

With the Solana edition of the Gemini Credit Card, customers can earn up to 4% back in Solana on gas, EV charging and rideshare, 3% back on dining, 2% back on groceries, and 1% back on other purchases.1 In addition, we are partnering with select merchants to offer up to 10% back on qualifying purchases for all Gemini Credit Card holders.2 You can see all the merchants we’ve partnered with in the card benefits section of the Gemini app.

Solana is a high performance network powering internet capital markets, payments, and crypto applications. Solana’s native token, SOL, is used to pay transaction fees on the network and can be staked for up to 6.77% on Gemini.3 The token has appreciated by more than 16% over the past year.4

For the first time, Gemini customers will also be able to automatically stake their Solana credit card rewards directly. With the addition of this feature, Gemini Credit Card users earn a reward by locking up their cryptocurrency to secure the Solana network by participating in validating transactions and maintaining the network’s security.3

To get started with auto-staking, new Gemini Credit Card customers can choose to opt in when they sign up, and current customers can choose to opt in to auto-staking when they choose Solana as their credit card reward.

Solana staking takes place on a decentralized platform using smart contracts. Node operators add blocks to the blockchain and earn staking rewards for their effort. In exchange, these node operators dedicate tokens to a network to increase the number of block validations, helping strengthen and build out the ecosystem.

Launching a Solana edition of the Gemini Credit Card was a logical choice given Solana’s momentum and its robust and active community it built as one of the top ecosystems for new developers. Solana’s rewards performance has been one of the highest among available cryptocurrencies on Gemini. As of July 27, 2025, Gemini Credit Card users who held Solana rewards for at least one year saw those rewards grow by 299.1%. 5
