Summary
Ready, the crypto wallet company, has abruptly disabled card access for users outside the European Economic Area, citing a sudden provider switch — some users lost functionality within an hour. Built on USDC and linked to Mastercard, the Ready Card lets users spend crypto seamlessly, but now those outside the EEA are locked out, raising questions about communication and transparency. Refunds are promised, but the new provider and full reasons remain undisclosed — while users can still manage their crypto on-chain, the sudden move underscores how volatile crypto-linked services can be.
