Free crypto cards dataset

What's inside

Each row is one card. The columns cover eight dimensions:

• Identity: name and card image
• Card type & network: physical / virtual, and the card network with its tier in one column
• Custody model: custodial, self-custody, or hybrid
• Fees: issuance, annual, FX, ATM, spending limits
• Rewards: cashback rate, token paid in, welcome bonus, APY on balances
• Availability: KYC regions, countries, supported chains and tokens
• Banking rails: IBAN / SEPA / SWIFT access where offered
• Provenance: how the row was assessed, and a canonical url back to the card page
• Lifecycle: last-reviewed date, and for closed cards the date, reason and primary source

The full schema with per-column semantics is in the README.
