Stablecoin account + Visa card
Coinbase Card is a prepaid Visa that spends cash, USDC or supported crypto from a linked Coinbase account. Its United States, United Kingdom and EEA programmes have different issuers, limits, wallet support and rewards, while the crypto spread and current reward rate stay dynamic.
