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.
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.
