The calendar
Every crypto, stablecoin and fintech conference left in 2026.
For each one: what it actually is, who actually shows up, and whether it earns the trip. Then book the ticket, the seat and the room, and pay for all three in dollars.

Open Travala from a Kite page
Tap a booking link on this planner or on any destination page. A direct visit to Travala won't track.
Create or sign in to your Travala account
Book while logged in with your own email address. Guest checkout can't be verified.
Pay with Kite card or wallet
Cashback lands in your Kite balance at the end of the month you booked in.
Two ways to pay
More than a card
Tap it, or scan it.
Kite Stable Card
Spend your dollars at 150M+ merchants, anywhere Visa works. Your virtual card is ready in about two minutes and goes straight into Apple Pay or Google Pay, before you have even packed.
- $0 annual fee. $0 to issue it.
- 0% when the charge is in dollars
- 1.8% Forex Charge when the charge is in local currency
- Every fee shown in the app before you confirm
Cards are issued by licensed partners. Kite is not a bank.
QR scan & pay
In a lot of Asia, people pay by scanning a code, not tapping a card. So you can do that too, straight from your dollars. No cash machine, no exchange counter, no airport rate.
- Pays in seconds from the same balance as your card
- No cash to carry and none left over at the end
- Works where QR is how people actually pay
- Your dollars are USDC or USDT under the hood
QR scan & pay is live in some Kite markets, not all of them yet. Check the app for where you are going.
Your money stays yours, wherever you land
Experience borderless finance with Kite.
