Coinbase Card
Debit card that spends from and rewards into your Coinbase account — convenient if you are already there, custodial by definition.
The longer story
The Coinbase Card spends directly from your Coinbase balances (crypto or USD) and pays rewards back into the same account, making it the path of least resistance for anyone whose crypto already lives there. Visa debit rails, familiar app, no new balances to manage.
It suits existing Coinbase users who value convenience over optimization. The trade-offs are the platform’s: custodial by definition, multi-crypto rather than bitcoin-first, and spending crypto directly is a taxable disposal in most countries — check our tax pages before making it a habit.
