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.
PST.NET
A niche virtual-card service for online/media-buying use cases with crypto funding - usable for its purpose, but tier subscriptions, per-card fees and the niche positioning make it a poor general spending card.
