Freedomia
The most polished Lightning-native card pitch on the market: instant virtual Visa, Lightning Address top-ups, explicit no-KYC stance, Google Wallet and Tor support. Counterparty risk is substantial - the operator stays anonymous, the service is in its launch phase, and card balances are custodial.
RedotPay
A heavily-marketed APAC crypto card whose fees and terms we could not independently verify (bot-blocked pages) - a verify listing: confirm the current fee schedule and issuer on their terms page before loading funds.
