2Fiat
A multi-asset virtual Mastercard with Apple/Google Pay support and $10-$10,000 loads - a rare direct-altcoin-load card. Until fees, limits and the operator behind it are verifiable, treat it as an unverified lead: fund only what you can afford to lose.
Krak Card (Kraken)
Kraken's consumer debit card: hold BTC (and 600+ other assets) in the Krak account and spend via an editable Spend Order that auto-converts at authorization on the Mastercard rate - no markup, no monthly fee, free plastic, metal for 50k balances, instant tiered cashback up to 2% in fiat or sats. Costs hide in the variable conversion spread, the default Rewards tier earns nothing, and spend/ATM limits are not published.
