Uquid
Discontinued in practice - no card product is marketed on uquid.com anymore (card URLs return 404; the site is a web3 shopping marketplace). The card rail has been gone since at least January 2025; do not sign up expecting a card.
The bitcoin flow
Source note: No card product is marketed on uquid.com as of 2026-09-19: /card, /cards and /virtual-card return 404 and the homepage is a pure web3 marketplace (already cardless in the 2025-01-09 Wayback snapshot). The platform itself is alive as a crypto-payment marketplace (Binance/KuCoin/Bybit/Gate/Crypto.com Pay, UQC, BTC-LN). Card program status: not offered via the site; web-surfaced user report cites 'problems with the card vendor'.
Verdict
Discontinued in practice - no card product is marketed on uquid.com anymore (card URLs return 404; the site is a web3 shopping marketplace). The card rail has been gone since at least January 2025; do not sign up expecting a card.

Wayback snapshot 2025-01-09 shows the same cardless marketplace - the card has been absent from the official site for 20+ months. Social handles still carry the legacy name @uquidcard.
