I tested and onboarded to some crypto cards yesterday. There’s an insane amount now… did something change in regulation, is it visa/mastercard, or is there certain virtual card provider infra that’s made it easier?

redotpay
kazepay
tuyo
orbitx
lemoncard
metamask
gnosis pay
holyheld
argent
kast
solcard
avici
cypher
xswipe
exa
nexo

Then of course the ones from exchanges like coinbase, binance, cryptodotcom, gemini

All this and I still might have missed some

If you don’t have one or looking for your next one, few things to look for
- if it works in your geo
- fees: top up or deposit, forex conversion rates, annual fees
- costs: one time set ups, cost to deliver
- virtual or physical (can you use it right away in apple pay)
- self custody or not
- what chain it’s on or to deposit from
- ability to offramp to fiat
