My Top Crypto Cards:
1️⃣ @Plasma - love the team, simple & efficient app
2️⃣ @KASTxyz - nice perks, lots of cashback promos
3️⃣ @RedotPay - supports many countries others don't
4️⃣ @useTria - incredibly generous fee structure
5️⃣ @ether_fi - non-custodial giant, big in LATAM
Runner Up's:
@coca_card @KoloHub @pionexpay @avici
My NEVER to use list:
❌ @NebeusWorld - buggy & high fees
❌ @cryptocom - high fx and boring app
❌ @coinbase - high fees and I'm over it
Here’s my @EthenaPay Card review.
💳: ★★★★★
I was so excited about this one, waited for it with fomo, was keen on getting the invite code, and then .. I absolutely wasn’t disappointed with what I found inside.
The Good:
✅ 0% foreign exchange fee. getting more rare these days. benchmark is ~1.5% with other cards.
✅ 1:1 stables to USD conversion. No spread, no load fee, no transaction fee. Incredibly generous fee structure.
✅ USD, EUR and GBP virtual accounts in your name, but EUR and GBP auto-convert to USD on deposit
✅ Self-custodial, you control your money
✅ Automatic earnings on your balance, daily (up to 6% APY)
✅ Up to 5% cashback. Entry level gets you 4% with $115 monthly cap. More generous than ~$50 average other cards offer.
✅ Just launched but growing fast, already getting into the ranks amongst Top 20 crypto cards (source: @paymentscan)
✅ Basically unlimited spend (1mil), unlike many others with ~30k or so
The Bad:
❌ No physical card yet
❌ Limited number of countries supported, no EU yet. But #pakistan is supported, nice for them, since they don’t have many cards available there
❌ They just launched, so many features are still on the way
❌ The app is English-only for now, while most other cards offer at least 5 languages
I can’t explain why I love this card so much. They don’t pay me to shill them. They are just awesome, with a great team behind and with great foundations from @ethena ecosystem.
Try them out.
Who's this @DogPay_ newcomer to the crypto card leader charts??
I must check them out, then.
(@Paymentscan data,

..what a coincidence.
to be #25,000 on the waitlist for @PulsarMoneyApp 💳.
Such a round number.
Anyone have a code for me?
It's my first 2 days using @EthenaPay card. ⭐️
I didn't move my money into 'Earn', 'Reserve', or 'Invest' account.
I just added some balance for me to spend.
..and it automatically started earning me daily cash reward. 💙
Now THAT is the smoothest no-friction experience ever.
I am enjoying this.
p.s. I will do a comparison of crypto card Earn features, next. I will check @KASTxyz @ether_fi @coca_card @avici @Exa_App - let's see what they offer.
Sweet feature on @cashi card is they combine multiple crypto's you have, to settle one transaction.
With my other crypto cards, I’m used to needing enough balance in a single cryptocurrency to cover the full purchase amount.
This is a nice upgrade.
⚠️ Be careful when using QR code apps.
I am at the restaurant paying for my food,
with my @ether_fi crypto card.
Almost got charged 5.5% Foreign Exchange Fee,
instead of 0%.
Nice list of crypto cards that have 0% fx fee:
1️⃣ @ether_fi
2️⃣ @avici
3️⃣ @okx
4️⃣ @coca_card
5️⃣ @useTria - (later: correction, they charge 0.5%-1% fx)
Man, I feel fomo.
Entered Lithuania for my KYC.
Should have used my UAE id.
@EthenaPay - can I see the list of supported countries pls?
@KlaionX @0xVishnya @Nikitont @lechriss17 @vuirew_ - did you guys get in yet?
A bit of a paradox. 🤯
- Why to support a language if the KYC for that country is not enabled in your app? hm.
The winners with the most languages in their app:
1️⃣ @phantom (48 languages)
2️⃣ @Krak (27 languages)
3️⃣ @MEXC (26 languages)
4️⃣ @Nexo (25 languages)
5️⃣ @Revolut (24 languages)
@KASTxyz @ether_fi @useTria @KoloHub @pionexpay - nice to see you guys are localizing your apps.

Why does EtherFi need its own stablecoin?
Over $300M in stablecoins sits in the app. By launching its own stablecoin, EtherFi will start earning on it
How it works:
- USDT and USDC are backed by reserves that earn, mostly short US Treasuries
- hold them and that income goes to Tether or Circle
- issue your own and you get a cut
- nothing to build: @ethena runs the reserves, minting and redemption for @ether_fi USD
If all $300M sat in 3-month T-bills at today's 4.1%, that is about $12M a year, before Ethena takes its share
Still not public: the reserve mix, a reserves page, and whether holders get any of the yield
..what I am working on (random shiny-thing-syndrom):
Adding supported languages for each crypto card into my database...
This means checking 72 apps and screenshotting the language screens.. I wish AI could already navigate on Apple mobile apps and find the menu item I need for me.

This orange matches my new style🧡🧡🧡
Go claim your username on @cashi before someone else takes it. 🤗
(I am still reviewing this card. Initial impressions: I am a new fan. Lots of onramp offramp options with local currencies. Lovely app experience.)
