Dead & discontinued crypto cards

Card programs die - issuers collapse (Wirecard 2020), regulators strike, exchanges retreat from whole regions. We keep ended programs visible on purpose: as history, without visit links. This is the list most affiliate sites quietly delete. "Watch" is not an accusation: those cards are still listed, but with active concerns you should read before loading funds.

Discontinued - not accepting new users

Program ended or was withdrawn from key markets. Existing cards may still work; new orders do not. Balance holders should check the provider's wind-down terms.

Binance Card

Discontinued - the flagship exchange card of its era, killed by regional regulatory pressure (EEA first). Kept as archive: load nothing here; existing regional variants require checking on Binance's own product pages.

BitPay Card

Discontinued for new applicants - the longest-running US crypto prepaid card, now ended. Kept as archive: BitPay continues as a payments company, but the card program is closed to new users.

OneKey Card

Discontinued - a wallet-native card that did not survive its launch cycle. Archive entry: the hardware-wallet company continues; the card program does not accept orders.

Vast Bank Crypto

Discontinued - the US national bank that pioneered in-app crypto trading, then dropped it in the 2023 retrenchment. Archive entry for the banks segment: even a real US bank charter did not make crypto banking stick.

C.Pay (Cryptopay)

Card discontinued - one of the oldest BTC card products, ended by the 2023 EEA issuer squeeze. Archive entry only.

Dead - not operating

No longer operating - balances are likely gone. Frozen or parked pages can still answer with HTTP 200: "reachable" in the daily check never means "working".

Juno

Dead - the crypto-cashback neobank frozen in the Synapse collapse of 2024. Archive entry: this is what happens when your card's bank rails run through a middleman that fails - the cautionary tale for every BaaS-stacked card in this comparison.

Nuri

Dead - the flagship German crypto-bank account died in the 2022 insolvency wave. Archive entry: the banking partner (Solaris rails) survived; the crypto bank on top did not. The lesson for this comparison: partner-bank rails do not make a crypto program stable.

TenX

Dead - the canonical issuer-risk story: a card program dies with its BIN sponsor (Wirecard, June 2020). This archive entry is why issuer structure matters in every review on this site.

How a card lands here

Discontinued: no longer accepting new users (region-specific or global). Dead: no longer operating (a frozen page can still answer with HTTP 200 - reachability is not operation). Scam: a confirmed pattern of unpaid users or load theft. Watch: unresolved concerns that did not (yet) meet the bar for a scam flag. Status is per our methodology; providers can dispute with evidence via contact.

The cautionary tale: how entire card fleets froze with the Wirecard collapse - and what that teaches about issuer risk today.
