Bitpanda Card
Europe's cleanest all-asset debit card: spend any of 600+ cryptos or even precious metals from one EUR card with zero monthly fees, 0% own FX markup, generous EUR 280k/month limits and an MFSA-regulated issuer. The 1% cashback only pays on crypto payments, ATM withdrawals cost 2%, and it is euro-area only.
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.
