A crypto card provider just lost its issuer with zero notice

Looks like Ready is shutting down its card program. Saw this update from Itamar earlier. Not a great look to be shut down this fast, especially with zero notice.

Crazy how dependent a lot of these crypto cards still are on third-party issuers. Self-custody is great but the moment the issuer pulls the card program, the whole thing is basically useless.

Really makes you appreciate how fragile the infrastructure still is for crypto spending. Hope they actually deliver something more reliable next but for now it's another reminder of how early this space still is.
