BONKx Card
BonkX · Visa
BONKx (BonkX) is a crypto payment card marketed as a premium neobank built on Solana and powered by the BONK token, issued on the Visa Infinite network and accepted at over 150 million Visa merchants across 150+ countries. It offers an instant virtual card plus a physical card, IBAN accounts, bank transfers and mobile pay. Card spending is secured by cryptocurrency collateral and the product is custodial: BonkX Inc. (legal seat in Delaware, United States) states it is neither a bank nor the card issuer. The loyalty program is based on BXP (Bonk Experience Points), with a mention of stablecoin cashback. NOTE: as of the verification date the card's official numbers are not publicly documented: issuance fee, annual fee, FX markup, cashback percentage, and ATM fees/limits are listed by sources as TBA/undisclosed and are therefore reported as 0 for lack of official data; the issuer's license is likewise undisclosed.

Verdict
Low protection: custodial product with full KYC run by BonkX Inc., which states it is neither a bank nor the card issuer and discloses no issuer license. The user has no self-custody of assets and key numbers (fees, cashback, limits) remain undocumented.
Very low sovereignty: custody delegated to a third party, mandatory full KYC and no direct control over keys or assets. The model is the opposite of the self-custody cypherpunk approach.
