Binance Card
Discontinued in the EEA since Dec 2023, but alive again in Latin America: relaunched Aug 2026 in Venezuela as an Immersve-issued Mastercard (waitlist beta, up to 3% cashback, crypto balance spent directly). Patchy acceptance during the beta (Apple Pay enrollment and some merchants fail); no EEA return announced.
ether.fi Cash
A genuinely different architecture: keep full self-custody of 250+ assets and spend through a credit line instead of selling - with tiered memberships, travel cashback and premium Visa perks. The risks are equally clear: borrowing costs, portfolio volatility/liquidation risk, and a protection program that was still 'not yet live' at review time.
