Buy Ocean Protocol
with Debit Card

A debit card is a payment card that, unlike a credit card, is directly linked to the customer’s account using the money they have on deposit to pay for their purchase. Debit Card payment methods can be used to buy goods or to use services. Debit cards are accepted at millions of online stores and can be easily added to your digital wallets. Some of the main advantages of offering debit card payment services would be:

• The user never accumulates debt by spending from the debit card because it spends from users’ owned money directly. Therefore, it can help you prevent spending beyond your budget.
• It is safe to use against fraud.
• Debit cards do not have an annual fee.

Ocean Protocol is a decentralized data exchange platform designed to allow data providers to securely and privately share valuable data and artificial intelligence models while maintaining control over their data. It enables users to discover, access, and use data through a marketplace while ensuring data privacy, security, and compliance with data sharing agreements. Through this protocol, publishers can earn money from their data while maintaining privacy and have control, and along with this, users or data consumers will have access to a set of data that was previously unavailable or difficult to find. These datasets can be found on Market Ocean, a place to buy, use and sell them. 

The main idea of Ocean Protocol is to make data available to startups and researchers without leaving the ownership of their custodians. The Ocean platform is built with the goal of facilitating the exchange of data, and connecting users who need this data, or cannot afford to store it, with users who have data to sell. In return, data providers of the Ocean Protocol cryptocurrency are rewarded.

Anyone with a bank account can own a debit card and anyone with a verified debit card and an account on our exchange can enjoy our Debit Card payment service to buy cryptocurrencies. Offering cryptocurrency purchase services using debit cards means more flexible financing for our exchange users.

OCEAN is the native token of the Ocean Protocol blockchain. Crypto traders use the symbol "OCEAN" to refer to the Ocean Protocol token (OCEAN), which is commonly traded on different platforms. The symbol is used to distinguish it from other crypto assets and to make it easier for users to identify and trade the token. The symbol is standardized and is widely recognized by the cryptocurrency community, making it easier for users to trade OCEAN on different mediums.

Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) started its seed sale in Oct, 2017 raising about 3.8 million Euros with the price of 1 OCEAN equivalent to $0.09 USD. The Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) Pre-launch took place on Mar 7, 2018, through which it raised 16 million Euros with the price of each OCEAN token at $0.23 USD. The project then completed a Network launch on Mar 6, 2019 through which it raised another 1.8 million Euros selling each OCEAN at the price of $0.25 USD. There was then an International IEO from Apr 30 to May 3 of 2019 in which the project raised $6.4 million dollars by selling each OCEAN priced at $0.12 USD. 

In 2020, Ocean Protocol’s native token experienced a rally that took prices up to a peak of $0.08 in February. Even though it finished the year with a value of $0.32, it still outperformed 68% of the top 100 crypto assets on the market in just 1 year since its launch. The OCEAN token was off to a very good start as in early 2021 immediately as its price increased to an all-time high of $1.96, representing year-to-date gains of over 510%. This was driven by increasing interest in the Ocean Protocol project and growing demand for cryptocurrency in general. Later that year, another upsurge took OCEAN to $1.72 in May. OCEAN's price fluctuated between $ 0.5 and $ 0.18 throughout 2022, as the general crypto market was not so promising. OCEAN's price is off to a good start in 2023, as it has started the year on the $0.3 mark. According to some crypto market experts, Ocean Protocol’s native token’s price could even rise up to $12 by the year 2030. Please note that this is not financial advice and it is important to do your own research, consult with professionals and understand the market before starting investments in the cryptocurrency market.
