Do Web3 cards without KYC have the right to exist?

opinions are split into two camps:

for:
• You don’t hand your personal data to some service
• Relevant for people under capital controls, sanctions, or with shitty banking
• Fast issuance, almost no bureaucracy, can spend crypto

against:
• Most payment systems and banks refuse to work with them
• Cards often die fast: provider blocked → card dead → funds stuck
• Higher chance of getting scammed

not sponsored or anything, just food for thought

pros of no-KYC cards
• Maximum privacy
• Access for people under capital controls or sanctions
• Fast issuance
• Harder to freeze or track

cons
• Gray/black zone in most countries
• Low limits, high fees, frequent blocks, weak Apple/Google Pay
• If it gets hacked - almost zero chance to recover anything
• Worse rates

don’t forget - crypto was originally about decentralization, and a lot of people still want to stick to that

best no-KYC
@offgridcash, @solcard, @kardpay, @pintopay_me, @LasoFinance

best KYC
@ether_fi, @Plasma, @JupiterExchange, @wirexapp, @Krak

choice is yours
just DYOR and know the risks

shoutout to @JoinTODEY for the info as always

which side are you on?

[Daniel @0xDani]

Mastercard and Visa keep doubling down on stablecoins

Two major announcements over the last few days:

- Mastercard completed its acquisition of BVNK, a stablecoin payments infrastructure provider
- Visa partnered with Zero Hash to integrate stablecoin funding and payouts into Visa Direct
- Businesses will be able to use stablecoins to fund accounts and send cross-border payouts through Visa Direct
- Visa Direct connects more than 18 billion cards, bank accounts, and digital wallets across 195 countries
- Both payment giants are integrating stablecoins into existing financial infrastructure rather than building separate crypto ecosystems

The race is no longer about adoption. It's about infrastructure

A bullish long-term signal for crypto cards and onchain neobanks

Btw, there are now more than 300 crypto cards on the market, and the overwhelming majority of them are Visa. In the case of Mastercard, I had to search for cards to add to the image. In the case of Visa, I had to choose

Do you think this will change? Will there be more crypto cards with Mastercard support?

[DeFi Warhol @Defi_Warhol]

See, the problem with no-KYC crypto cards is that "no KYC" doesn't mean nobody gets your data.

You may not submit an ID directly to the platform, but the issuer, payment processor, card network, and merchants can still receive transaction data. Your onchain activity also leaves a public trail.

On top of that, you often have:

→ Low spending limits
→ Higher conversion, top-up and ATM fees
→ Less protection if the card stops working
→ Limited countries, merchants and supported assets

And the list goes on.

IMO they're worth experimenting with, but I'd apply the same memecoin gambling rule. Only put in what you're comfortable losing, not your salary.

List of crypto project shutdowns in 2026
a) CEX
• BitMEX
• BitMart
• AscendEx

b) DeFi

• Radiant Protocol
• Satori Finance

c) Infra

• Polygon zkEVM
• Leap Wallet
• Tally
• Parsec
• Lattice / Redstone

While at the same time some interesting innovations on-chain/ activity picking up on-chain
• Robinhood: their on-chain trenches (somewhat) revitalised (started with Cashcat) although yet to see a token >$100m currently - some tokens are also paired with tokenised stonks (e.g. $AI paired with tokenised $NVDA stock via @longdotxyz) which is quite novel and new. There is also a revenue generating launchpad on Robinhood in $PONS which is doing quite well
• Base: decentralised and open source AI still continues to shine - open models strengthen safety and privacy (some tokens that come to mind $POD, $VVV, $REI which Base seem to have some strength in). Special mention to decentralised compute as well ($SURPLUS and $CHIP)
• Ethereum: gamified commerce via gacha/blindboxes on NFT/collectibles on multiple chains (apart from TCG there is now gacha for Wine and even Hot Wheels kek). Most recently $FWA (Fake World Assets) on Ethereum (deposit NFTs + ETH to earn fees/rewards, or pay ETH to randomly pull one and choose the NFT, its ETH, or $FWA tokens)
• Solana: Still the chain where most on-chain volume is at --> $ANSEM (different type of meme via supply control by @blknoiz06 and a slow-drip airdrop model to people providing value to the meme), $KINS (too bad it died lmao but it did well initially, some on-chain Runescape + unlike other P2E where it relied on just token emissions, this had a proper in-game economy - too bad gaming is DEAD in crypto), @MetaDAOProject projs like $CRED (on-chain Stripe) + Rip Cars (Hot Wheels gacha) and Jurassic (Tokenized Dinosaurs) are unique (unsure the sustainability of these projects, more so looking from uniqueness standpoint), @Collector_Crypt with $CARDS (still very bullish alternate investments like collectibles as young people continue to be priced out of other assets like houses and the rise of Kidulting)
• Other chains: random burst of volume on memes like $FEFER on Stable chain and $UTYA on Gram (TON) chain

Feels eerily similar to 2024 timeline
• Market was quite boring
• New innovation on Ethereum in ERC404 (semi fungible NFTs like PANDORA lmao) Feb 2024
• Memes like POPCAT, WIF, BONK really took off from Feb 2024 till EOY
• $GOAT launched in Oct 2024 which sparked off the huge AI agent run-up

Wonder where do we go from here onwards, still have Clarity Act uncertainty + US Midterms + Iran war + potential rate hikes to navigate reee

Salah satu project yang lagi gw kembangin: IDX Flow
🔗 https://t.co/7U3eVDaRlq

Awalnya iseng reverse-engineer transaksi saham IDX. "Coba liat siapa yang beli siapa yang jual." Makin dalem, makin banyak rabbit hole.

Masalahnya: kebanyakan orang analisa transaksi itu cuma sebatas di "Broker X net buy sekian lot, kita beli. Broker Y net sell sekian lot, kita jual." Maka dari itu, gw decide untuk ngebuat beberapa layer untuk analisa:

📊 Flow-Price Correlation
Bukan asal "wah flownya naik, pasti bullish". Pakai ridge regression + walk-forward cross-validation buat ukur seberapa kuat flow beneran gerakin harga. Kalau korelasinya lemah ya ga bisa dipaksa jadi sinyal

🔄 Wyckoff Phase Detection
Lagi di fase akumulasi, markup, distribusi, atau markdown? Bukan nebak pakai feeling, tapi pake two-layer classifier yang combine broker score sama price action.

🕵️ Smart Money Tracker
Ada pergerakan yang kaga kelihatan dari angka mentah. Pola akumulasi/distribusi yang tipis, yang baru keliatan kalau dirangkai menjadi beberapa sinyal sekaligus.

🎛️ Regime-Adaptive Analysis
Ini yang paling penting: blue-chip dan gorengan nggak bisa dianalisis pakai ruler yang sama. Sistemnya auto-detect tipe saham (blue-chip, mid-cap, high-vol) dan adjust semua threshold sesuai karakter masing-masing.

📈 Gaussian HMM Regime Detection
Deteksi kapan korelasi flow-harga lagi di regime kuat vs lemah supaya bisa tau kapan sinyal flow bisa dipercaya, dan kapan cuma noise.

🏦 Broker Distribution
Siapa yang lagi dominan? Aliran dana dari broker ke broker divisualisasi supaya keliatan polanya.

Kagak ada satu sinyal ajaib. Tapi, banyak layer analisis yang harus dirangkai untuk menjadi sesuatu yang (mudah-mudahan) lebih solid dari sekadar liat net buy/sell.

App nya sendiri masih RAW dalam tahap alpha. Masih dikembangin tiap hari. Gw rilis sekarang untuk dapetin feedback dari kalian-kalian yang terjun ke pasar juga.
Akses nya masih ratis buat sekarang. Kemungkinan jadi subscription-based karena jujur aja waktu dan effort yang dikeluarin nggak sedikit 😭✌️

Monggo dicoba kalau penasaran. Untuk segala feedback atau apapun itu bisa DM ke aku lewat X atau tele (https://t.co/c6EGvg9HoH). Feedback form otw disematkan di website.

Helloo, sesuai request teman-teman semua. Berikut cara gua screening koin sebelum akhirnya gua putusin buat nge DLMM

CONTOH : Aslan - SOL

Pertama, gua make GMGN untuk screening dan filter yang gua pakai simple cuma total fees minimal 30 SOL dan holders minimal 1K

Kemudian setelah itu gua bakal ngecheck marketcap nya, volume nya, dan global fees yang dihasilkan. Setelah itu gua bisa ngecheck beberapa tools dari GMGN, seperti seberapa banyak token yang dihold oleh bundlr, DEV, dan juga top 10% nya. Untuk tulisan Rug 100% pada GMGN itu hanya berdasarkan history rug yang dilakukan developer sehingga TIDAK SELALU berpengaruh besar ya.

Setelah gua ngecheck hal di atas aman, gua kembali ngecheck di bagian holders pada bagian DEV dan Bundlr dan juga All, gua selalu ngecheck berapa banyak token yang dihold oleh para bundlr ataupun holder token tersebut, jika ada orang yang hold 5% nah ini udah redflag buat gua karena angkanya sangat besar. Selain itu, perlu juga ngecheck bagian funding atau sumber dana dari para top holder, terkadang banyak dana yang disebar ke beberapa wallet supaya tidak terlihat memegang dalam jumlah besar dan hal tersebut sangat redflag.

Nah kemudian kalian bisa pakai tools lain dari
1. https://t.co/7RfwiFpEWU
2. https://t.co/AeV4KwBLOE

Make dua aplikasi ini bisa ngecheck seberapa besar pengaruh bundlr dan beberapa hal lain. Untuk mau nonton detail cara screening bisa langsung saja ke @eisbedog!
