Our take on Bleap
Bleap combines self-custody with rewards that feel more like a mainstream cashback card. Your money stays in a smart account on Base or Polygon, and the Mastercard spends USDC, USDT, ETH, BTC, SOL or USDe.
Bleap charges no annual, FX or conversion fee, and you get €400 a month of free ATM use. Cashback is paid in USDC and varies by category, from 1% on general spending to 20% on subscriptions. The fair-use limit isn't published, so treat the 20% as a perk for a few subscriptions rather than a headline rate.
One of the best self-custody cards in Europe for everyday spending.
