Editorial scores for the MetaMask Card and the Bleap Crypto Card
CriterionMetaMask CardBleap Crypto Card
Overall3.9 / 54.0 / 5
Cost 25%4.0The Virtual card is free with a 1% cross-border fee and 2% on ATM withdrawals. Stablecoin conversion is free in matching currencies, 0.5–0.875% otherwise.5.0No card, monthly or annual fee, no FX markup, no conversion fee, and ATM withdrawals free up to €400 a month — as cheap as this comparison gets.
Conditions 25%4.5Nothing to stake or hold on the free card. The 3% rate needs the $199-a-year Metal card, three times the everyday rate.4.0No stake, balance or plan is needed. The 20% headline is real but applies only to streaming, AI and gaming subscriptions, far above the everyday rate.
Rewards 25%3.01% on the free Virtual card, paid in mUSD, a dollar stablecoin rather than a volatile token. Metal's 3% on the first $10,000 a year barely covers its own fee.3.51% on everything, 2% at restaurants and supermarkets, 3% on rides and delivery, and 20% on subscriptions, all paid in USDC with per-category monthly caps.
Reliability 25%4.0Built by Consensys with Baanx, with per-tier fees and limits published, and our data re-checked this month.3.5Licensed under MiCA by Latvijas Banka with dated cashback terms and a published eligibility list, but the product is young and some EEA countries are still waiting.
