@amandalfischer They are partnered with Cross River Bank since they don't have a charter. Same as how Hood has a partnership for their banking.

@nachunja Haven't got this one yet but i got the stablecoin roll out today.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@FabianoSolana My combo: Coinbase One Credit Card + Jupiter Spend Card 4% back in BTC or cash.
Only gripes with the Jup card: they're pickier on which transactions qualify for cash back (fine print has changed a few times), and CS response times could be better.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@SamLResearch @QuintenFrancois Great combo. Jupiter Spend is also really cool if you're into the whole concept of running your bank directly from your crypto wallet.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@QuintenFrancois In my opinion the best combo is CB1 and Jupiter Spend. 4% cash back on both.
I concur Kast has one of the best overall experiences rn , keep in mind the free card is 1.5% cash back. The next step up is premium which is $1000/yr meaning you'd need to spend 50k a year to recoup.

@mangusxbt @jup_mobile @phantom @solflare @solana Using Jupiter and solflare pretty equally.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@CoinbaseDuck @coinbase Did they have any trouble with basis being recorded ? Curious about this too and also waiting for a transfer incentive

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@CoinbaseDuck @torvaman_ @coinbase Circling back here, just got access today to direct deposit it's Crossriver bank. Appears the account is for deposit only though for now..

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@CoinbaseDuck @torvaman_ @coinbase ACH is critical. What are your thoughts on the virtual account structure. Will they build in-house, go neobank style (most aren't FDIC), or traditional? Obvious partners: Lead Bank (most crypto cards/neobanks), Cross River (Robinhood & X Money), or SSB Bank (Jupiter Global).

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@daman4545 @Flowslikeosmo This is correct it keeps the status quo I.e for example stablecoins parked into a wallet don't earn yield. Unless you swap into a yield bearing token or deposit into a vault. Also allows companies like Kraken, Coin, Etc to offer loyalty rewards.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@malikonchain @KASTxyz Agreed, but we're moving past the points meta. It's too niche being tied to a TGE for non-native users. To capture the next wave, we need rewards people already understand. With fintechs, super apps, & wallets like JUP entering the space, every1 is launching a card w/ cashback.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@torvaman_ @CoinbaseDuck @coinbase I can never go back, this setup is amazing. After the IRA feature (it's likely on the roadmap if you view ACATS Tab) I'd say paycheck direct deposit/virtual bank account & it's a full replacement. Might need a partner for that last one if they don't want to get licensing.

@StarPlatinum_ @hosseeb had a post I remember on this last year.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@molusol @JupiterExchange Really cool so far. Assuming custom loan duration will come shortly as 3 days is probably best for beta purposes.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@fintechfrank @CoinbaseDuck @maxbranzburg
Does COIN have crypto IRA plans? Seems like a no brainer. Brokerage launch was a great start. Goal should be to keep amplifying the product flywheel: more asset buckets > easier to hit higher credit card tiers for normies > more product stickiness.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@molusol @luminaries Which Solana wallets are your favorites? I originally got onboarded with Phantom, but now I pretty much exclusively use Solflare and Jupiter. Jupiter is straight-up killing it the self-custody wallet + neobank integration with Jupiter Global all in one app is unmatched right now.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@vuk_sol @inno_ox @jito_sol @MarinadeFinance @sanctumso @Helius Native is the way. I'm 90% Helius 5 % Solana Mobile 5 Jupiter Validator.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@Doonhamer_ @inno_ox @jito_sol @MarinadeFinance @sanctumso Native Solana staking is built into the protocol's PoS consensus. It's not DEFI. There is no smart contract risk, no tokens leaving your wallet. Funds move to a stake account that stays in your control.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@inno_ox @theonlywill @jito_sol @MarinadeFinance @sanctumso exactly. Native Solana staking is built into the protocol's PoS consensus. There is no smart contract risk, no tokens leaving your wallet. Funds move to a stake account within your wallet that stays in your control.

[Alexander The Great @RednaxelaCrypto]

@woleswoosh @Carlitoswa_y Correct. I had the same reduction. I still love Kast but I recommend giving Jupiter Card a try.

4% real cash back. They have a promo to join right now. Sign up by tomorrow you get $200 cash back after your first $1k spend within 30 days of activation.
