CEX CARDS VS INDEPENDENT CRYPTO CARDS: NEXO VS TRIA

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Nexo's custodial card, which offers Credit Mode spending against crypto without selling it and Debit Mode spending from a Savings Wallet with up to 2% cashback in NEXO or BTC, was compared against Tria's self-custodial card supporting 1,000-plus assets with cashback scaling from 1.5% on Virtual to 6% on Premium tiers. Nexo keeps funds on a custodial platform with credit lines from 1.9% interest and tiered free ATM withdrawals, while Tria retains user custody, charges 0% of its own FX fee (Visa's 1% still applies), and offers up to $100,000 in daily spending limits plus purchase and price protection on higher tiers.
