Credit and cashback cards
Two separate ideas share this category. In the first, the card lets you spend against crypto you own, either as a credit line or as a secured card. In the second, the point is cashback, paid in crypto or in stablecoins.
For each, the reviews give the figures that matter: interest rates, caps, the coin in which rewards are paid, collateral rules, and the conditions behind any «up to» number.
Crypto-backed credit may be recalled when market prices fall. Cashback in a volatile token has the value of that token. Both facts are made explicit in the reviews.
