Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for conducting a transaction utilizing a cryptocurrency. The user may fund a cryptocurrency account with his pre-existing cryptocurrency. An issuer may purchase cryptocurrency within a cryptocurrency exchange. The user may then utilize a payment device (e.g., a Crypto Debit Card) that is associated with a cryptocurrency balance to conduct a transaction with a merchant for goods and/or services. An authorization request message may be transmitted to the authorizing entity computer. The authorizing entity computer may determine a cryptocurrency amount corresponding to the fiat currency transaction amount of the authorization request message. A sell request message may be transmitted to an exchange that facilitates the sale of the cryptocurrency amount.
