Cryptocurrency debit cards (or prepaid credit cards) have already flooded the market. And big exchanges have already captured this movement and released their versions of these cards. The main advantage of having a card tied to an exchange is the ease of trading funds for cryptocurrencies natively and trading against other crypto pairs. Also, most of the time, it is not necessary to pay fees, and there are partnerships with large technology companies to have discounts on the payment of products and services. Check out some debit cards offered by large exchanges.
Crypto.com have cards with several benefits
Exchange Crypto.com offers five debit card versions of the Visa flag, with benefits that increase as you lock more CRO tokens on the platform. The cards range from the free version – no need to lock tokens – to the black version, which requires the stake of 1 million CRO, the equivalent of R$ 524 thousand when this report was written.
In return, the card gives the right to 100% streaming subscriptions on Spotify, Netflix, and Prime, pays interest, rewards with each spend, and offers other premium benefits such as airport lounges and private jets with special conditions. The bad news is that the card is not available to Brazilian users.

Binance offers debit card with cashback

How crypto debit cards work
Crypto debit cards work just like any other card of the same type. In Brazil, they are known as prepaid credit cards. It is necessary to recharge them with funds, in other words, cryptocurrencies. When purchasing the funds, they are converted into dollars or other local currency and can be spent. They also allow banks’ drafts, but in some cases, they charge fees.
