Is Wirex the first service that will put back Bitcoin debit cards on the market after Visa and Wave Crest issue? Will there be some new features and improvements? Any planned dates for issuing new cards?
And what about the others, does anyone has some information? I think market hardly waits for this gap to be filled.
There are a few services that were still working because they didn't use Wavecrest.
From the others, it looks like indeed Wirex is the first. At least from the ones I've been watching.
From their announcement it looks like some luckier users have already got upgrade notice. I didn't

.
So the planned date seems to be 9th of March.
Unfortunately they are not very talkative these days, I asked 1-2 weeks ago about the planned release and all I've got was "Q1 2018".
Personally i wait for new relase of Cryptopay.me Bitcoin Debit Card, but last info from their support is from 27th February: "Our platform is 80% ready to incorporate a new card program, so there are still some technical changes and practicalities left before we launch it. The cards should become available in a couple of months."
I wrote info to them about this Wirex announcement, maybe it will speed up their work
