Why is Paxful reducing the available gift card options?

Gift cards are a great way to access global markets, but they come with challenges like higher dispute rates and slower transactions. By focusing on the most traded cards, we’re making Paxful a safer, more reliable place for everyone.


What will happen to the existing offers and active trades?

Offers for gift cards not included in the list of supported options will be deactivated, but all active trades will continue to be processed as usual.
