1inch is closing its crypto debit card and has stopped accepting new signups, though existing cards and accounts still work for now. The company asks holders to move balances as soon as possible and no later than December 18, 2026, while saying the issuer and provider control the exact timeline. Holders who miss that date can still claim leftover e-wallet balances for up to six years after an account closes under Section 16 of the issuer’s published card terms, 1inch said.
