HONG KONG, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — COCA, the self-custodial banking app powered by stablecoins and used by over 1 million people worldwide, today announced the launch of COCA 2.0, a major platform upgrade that redefines how stablecoins can be used in everyday life.

COCA 2.0 is a response to a widespread industry problem: most stablecoins remain trapped on exchanges or in wallets, unused, with limited access to real-world spending or financial tools. The new release empowers users to spend, grow, and earn with crypto—securely and independently—using a modern, intuitive app and a globally accepted Visa card.

“We saw that people weren’t just holding crypto anymore—they wanted to live on it,” said Vasili Palau, COCA’s CEO. “With COCA 2.0, we’re unlocking real utility: not just storage, but spending, rewards, and financial growth—all without compromising on user control.”

A New Standard in Crypto Utility and Self-Custody

Unlike custodial platforms, COCA remains fully non-custodial—users retain full ownership of their digital assets. Wallets are protected by advanced MPC cryptography and biometric recovery, eliminating the need for centralized custodians or recovery keys.

Key features of COCA 2.0 include:

Spend stablecoins anywhere Visa is accepted—over 50 million merchants worldwide, online or in-store
Up to 8% cashback on everyday purchases
50% cashback on Netflix, ChatGPT, Amazon Prime, and Spotify
Up to 50% off hotel bookings through COCA Travel
6% APY on idle stablecoin balance
Zero fee cross-chain swaps across 15+ blockchains, with smart routing for best rates
Instant buying, swapping, sending, and receiving of crypto
Availability in 7 languages: English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French (with more to come)

All of this is delivered via a completely redesigned interface—available on iOS and Android—offering a banking-grade user experience built specifically for digital assets.

Solving the Real Problem in Crypto Finance

According to COCA’s research, over 70% of stablecoins remain unused, locked away on exchanges or wallets with no practical tools for payment or value growth. COCA 2.0 addresses this gap with a comprehensive suite of features that turn stablecoins into a usable financial toolset:

No third parties, no custodians—users remain in full control of their assets
Instant access to funds for payments, travel, and staking
Bank-like simplicity with crypto-native flexibility
Zero reliance on traditional banks

“COCA 2.0 isn’t just an update—it’s a blueprint for how crypto should work in the real world,” said Max Holub, Head of Product. “We’ve rebuilt the platform from the ground up around how people actually use crypto today—for living, not just holding.”
