Today, the most non-KYC cards are still custodial, meaning the provider holds the private key and controls entire your balance, so they can freeze it if requested by an competent authority or if they themselves believe there are fraud or illicit use.

I don't know why you are complicating something that is very simple - there are dozens of providers that sell virtual cards (Visa/Master) that can be bought with cryptocurrencies and there is no need for a crypto wallet or anything similar. If you want a card in the value of $100, then you send that amount + fee to the provider and get the data from the card, which you use when paying online or add the card to your mobile wallet and pay offline on POS devices.

Yes, you're right!
There are countless providers that sell prepaid cards loaded with cryptos and work exactly that you described.
But what I meant is that not all of these non-KYC cards work with the simple way of instant purchase and use. Somes require of you have a balance stored into the platform, make continuous deposits or even integrated with crypto wallets. At these cases, you have issue of custody and possible freezing arises.

I just think that for those looking for a card for recurring use and not just for spending a fixed amount, this doesnt work in practice. I just wanted to explain these differences and the problems with these others.
