Ready has suspended its USDC card services for users outside the European Economic Area (EEA) following a change in its card issuer. This shift led to rapid deactivation notices, preventing affected users from accessing their cards.
According to CoinTelegraph, users reported losing access to Ready’s USDC card shortly after the card provider switch, highlighting the abrupt nature of the service interruption. The halt affects only those outside the EEA, with no reported impact within the region.
For Japanese investors and traders, this development underscores the challenges of crypto payment services operating across multiple jurisdictions, emphasizing the importance of regulatory and issuer stability in maintaining seamless access to digital asset-linked financial products.
