Gemini Credit Card
The most regulated issuer context for a crypto-rewards credit card (NYDFS trust, WebBank-issued Mastercard World Elite): 4% gas/EV/transit, 3% dining, 2% groceries, 1% elsewhere, no annual fee, rewards in BTC or 50+ cryptos. It is a credit product (bureau approval, no crypto funding), US-only, and the issuer carries a 2025-2026 withdrawal-security-hold complaint pattern at the exchange level.
Nuri
The old Nuri bank is dead (2022 insolvency, customers moved to Vivid) - but the brand relaunched at nuri.com as an Estonian self-custody wallet with a free Visa card, IBAN and 130-country reach. Verify listing: card issuance, fees and the provider stack behind the banking rails are unverified; no community track record exists yet.
