The Crypto Register cards registry: launching soon
The Crypto Register is building a registry of crypto-branded payment cards in the EU with full EMI transparency. Notify-me sign-up; launch expected Q1 2027.
Coming soon: the full EU crypto-card registry
The Crypto Register's v3 surface covers crypto-branded payment cards in the EU and the Electronic Money Institutions that issue them. We are building it now. Drop your email to be notified when it launches.
What it will cover
- Every crypto-branded debit and prepaid card available to EEA residents, with the EMI partner clearly identified.
- Per-card profiles: issuing EMI, the EMI's authorising regulator, BIN sponsor, safeguarding method, fees, rewards, geographic availability.
- Side-by-side comparison of the major crypto cards including the OKX Card.
- Educational deep-dives on EMI safeguarding, DGS coverage, DAC8 reporting, and the tax treatment of crypto card spend.
