The monthly spending volume of crypto cards surpassed $800 million.
No surprise given how many perks DeFi neobanks like EtherFi/Plasma One offer:
• You keep full custody of your funds
• Cashback on all payments
• High yields on idle funds
Very bullish on this sector.
Most crypto apps make trading feel like a second job.
mb io doesn't.
Pick your coin. Enter your amount. Confirm.
Buy, sell, and swap in three steps. No clutter. No confusing menus.
Why I'm optimistic about perps
A perpetual is a leveraged bet on price with no expiry. Long or short; pay or collect funding to hold; close whenever. The simplest leverage tool in crypto, and the most used by far. Offshore perp volume topped ~$93T last year.
Why I think it keeps winning:
1. It already won once. BitMEX brought perps to crypto in 2016. Within two years, they overtook dated futures and options. BTC perp volume now runs ~6x spot.
2. First US approvals just landed. Kalshi's BTCPERP went live June 3: the first US-regulated perp. The CFTC cleared Coinbase to route clients into global perps. Kraken's lined up next.
3. The demand is structural. Retail was over half of US options volume last year. Global CFD volume runs past $30T a month. 4B+ people are still unbrokered. That's who perps are built for.
4. Simpler than options. No expiry, no theta decay, no implied vol to track. Exposure is linear, basically spot with leverage. For trades held days, not months, that's the whole appeal.
5. Cleaner than CFDs. CFDs do the same job, but OTC: opaque pricing, broker-set spreads, scattered liquidity. Perps run it on a transparent order book with no bilateral trust.
6. They trade 24/7. Markets move overnight and on weekends—on earnings and headlines, exactly when retail is shut out. Perps don't close.
7. Room to grow is huge. Options, futures, and CFDs do $8T+ a day. Perp DEXs do ~$20B. Catching even 1% is a different-sized business.
Perps started as a crypto workaround and became the better tool for leveraged directional trading. The US cracking the door just widens the funnel.
