Alternatives to the BitMart Card: closest obtainable cards

Xapo Bank Card (same region, custody and scheme)
Pionex Card (same region, custody and scheme)
Zypto Card (same region, custody and scheme)

Derived shortlist, not a tested recommendation: each card is sold where the BitMart Card was sold, and matches its custody model or card scheme where marked. No issuer calls any of them a successor, and nobody has held them side by side.
