TenX (Singapore, PAY token ICO era) was THE cautionary tale of crypto cards: its cards were issued by Wirecard AG, which collapsed in June 2020 in a EUR 1.9 billion accounting scandal - TenX's card fleet froze overnight with every other Wirecard-issued card. TenX never recovered. Incidents on record: June 2020: Wirecard AG (TenX's card issuer) collapsed in a EUR 1.9B accounting fraud - TenX cards stopped working overnight with the whole Wirecard card fleet.

The TRAstra site is down at the time of research (origin unreachable) - if the program still exists, it is not accepting users through this front door. Treat as unavailable until proven otherwise.
The UK's small answer to the crypto-neobank: a GBP account with a Visa debit and BTC/crypto in the app. UK-only and behind a JS-gated site - verify current card terms in-app before relying on it.
The most complete dual-mode card: one tap switches between spending your crypto (Debit, with daily interest) and borrowing against it (Credit, from 1.9%) - with free ATM allowances up to EUR 2,000/month and no card fees. The catch: meaningful cashback needs a $5,000+ portfolio and is denominated in NEXO, and it is EEA/UK-only.
