Since day one, Ready has made self-custody simple.
That is why we are excited to introduce Ready Metal, a card that lets you spend crypto as easily as cash while keeping full control of your assets. Freedom is priceless, and Ready Metal ensures you never have to compromise.
In this blog, you will learn what makes Ready Metal the only crypto card you’ll ever need and how it pays for itself.
Ready Metal pays for itself
What do you mean by that? Let's break it down.
The Ready Metal Card costs 120 USDC for the first year. But in the first 30 days after activating your card, you can earn 10% cashback on every purchase (on up to $1,500 spent).
That means if you spend $1,200 in month one, you’ll earn $120 in STRK cashback—covering the cost of the card. After that, every cashback reward is pure profit.
Over a full year, you could earn up to $1,800 in STRK rewards:
- 10% cashback in your first 30 days (on up to $1,500 spent)
- 3% cashback after that (on up to $5,000 spent each month)
- Maximum monthly rewards: $150 in STRK
- Maximum annual rewards: $1,800 in STRK
Cashback is paid in STRK on the 10th of each month.

And here’s where it gets interesting. Cashback rewards are paid in STRK, so if STRK increases in value, your rewards could grow too. Of course, prices fluctuate, but that’s part of the fun, right?
Your zero-compromise card
Most “crypto cards” claim to be crypto-friendly. But they’re just fiat cards with a crypto façade. Centralised and custodial.
Thanks to Kulipa, our card partner, the Ready Metal Card is different:
- Global: Accepted anywhere Mastercard is.
- 100% self-custody: You control your crypto.
- DeFi: Grow your crypto while you spend from the same account.
- No hidden fees: No FX, conversion, top-up, or gas fees. 1 USDC = $1.
- Useful perks: Free bridging, discounted eSIMs, onchain analytics and more.
- User experience: No seed phrase. The card integrates directly with Ready Mobile.
The Ready Metal Card is built by crypto natives, for crypto natives.
Perks for life onchain
In addition to the incredible cashback program, you’ll get exclusive access to a wide range of perks, including discounted eSIMs, free bridging, and onchain analytics.

Be your own offramp
Banks freeze accounts. Exchanges are no better.
The Ready Metal Card is a crypto-native offramp. It’s the easiest way to spend your crypto in the real world without compromising your freedom.
- Crypto-native: We don’t treat crypto users like criminals.
- Self-custody: You authorise a session key that allows Kulipa, our payment partner, to settle USDC payments for you.
- Control: You can revoke the session key anytime.
You own your assets on Ready.
