A plan by1inch Card · Mastercard

3.6/5 1.6/5 · Data verified on

A multi-chain crypto card (8 networks: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB, Avalanche, Gnosis, Fantom), with a CryptoDraft borrowing feature. FX is 0%, but a 1.75% crypto conversion fee applies per transaction; the 2% cashback is only paid in the BXX token (1% in BTC/USDT). Loaded funds are handled by a third-party issuer (Baanx), so it is not a self-custody solution.

Strengths

  • Multi-chain across 8 networks; CryptoDraft borrow; 0% FX.
  • No notable sovereignty advantage documented.

Weaknesses

  • 1.75% crypto conversion per transaction; 2% cashback only in BXX (1% BTC/USDT); custodial (Baanx).
  • Custodial: the platform holds your funds and can freeze or lose them.
  • Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.
  • Subject to regulation (FCA (Monavate)): reporting to authorities and freezes on order.

Verdict

B D ★ 3.6/5 ★ 1.6/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

The lowest rating in the group is consistent with its limits: the 1.75% crypto conversion per transaction is a real cost on every purchase, the 2% cashback is only paid in the BXX token and, crucially, loaded funds are entrusted to a third-party issuer (Baanx), so it is not self-custody at all despite the category. FCA oversight via Baanx does provide some regulatory anchor for the everyday user.

From a crypto-native angle the product disappoints exactly where it matters: settlement is not on-chain and custody is third-party, so you do not control the funds. The broad multi-chain reach across eight networks and the CryptoDraft feature stay appealing, but full KYC and a custodial model push it away from sovereignty standards.
