Bitpanda Card

The MiCA-licensed EU fallback, now with 0% FX (Visa markup aside). Cashback is a modest flat 1% and it stays EU-only, but the regulatory durability is the strongest in this set.

Crypto.com Visa

The volume leader. MiCA-licensed in the EU, available in the US, and the only major card with a real rewards programme. Tiers were renamed Plus/Pro/Private in late 2025 and can now be unlocked by a monthly subscription or a CRO stake, but the top 4-5% rates still require heavy staking.

• +Up to 5% cashback at top tiers
• +Lower tiers now available via cheap monthly subscription (no CRO stake required)
• +MiCA-licensed in the EU (regulatory durability)
• +Available in the US, rare for crypto cards

Bybit Card

Strong APAC and LATAM presence, sensible fee stack, and genuine USDT cashback (now spend-tiered up to 10%). EU issuance moved to the MiCA-regulated Bybit EU entity in 2026, adding regulatory clarity; still trails RedotPay on limits and has no US or UK support.

• +Real stablecoin cashback (USDT, no token-volatility risk at base tiers)
• +Low FX markup (0.5% in EEA)
• +Wide LATAM and APAC availability; EU now under MiCA via Bybit EU
• +No monthly fee

Nexo Card

Credit-line angle backed by your crypto collateral. Clean European licensing, but cashback now needs a >$5k balance and physical cards are paused.

• +Dual-mode: debit spending or crypto-backed credit line
• +Up to 2% in NEXO or 0.5% in BTC
• +Real EU regulatory footprint

Coinbase Card

The default crypto card for US residents. Lower limits than the Asia-Pacific leaders and a 2.49% conversion bites, but it's the only mainstream-trust option for US-based readers.

• +Up to 4% rewards in selected coin

Fold Card

US-only Visa that pays rewards in bitcoin sats on spend. Clean DCA loop for bitcoin-focused US residents; not competitive on FX or limits for anyone else. In 2026 Fold added a Bitcoin rewards credit card (1.5% base, up to 4%) on waitlist alongside the debit card.

• +0% FX markup; free ATM to EUR 200/mo

PLU-token rewards on paper (3–9%), but the headline rate now needs a paid subscription, thousands of PLU staked, and Perks-aligned spend. A niche fanbase product with low limits and a 2.5% FX fee.

• +Zero conversion fee on in-app exchanges
• +50+ brand Perks with fixed monthly rebates
• +Fiat-funded (GBP/EUR); active community
