Another CEX wants to launch a crypto card

By LeftFooted | bitcoinea | 4 May 2025


Yet another cryptocurrency exchange wants to launch its own debit card and, like the vast majority of CEX cards out there, it'll be a Mastercard.


The latest CEX to join the race is Kraken.


Kraken is still trying to pursue a license under the European Union's regulatory network, good luck with those *****, but anyway, in the meantime, Kraken teamed up with Mastercard for a new crypto card.


Kraken said the waitlist is open, but I didn't find in my Kraken account.


Most major crypto exchanges have cards, with the glaring exception of Binance, who had to shut down its card programme a while back.


These cards are available for some users, depending on jurisdiction but, in my experience, they cannot be relied on, chiefly due to the fact regulation changes all the time, usually for the worst.
