ether.fi Cash
A genuinely different architecture: keep full self-custody of 250+ assets and spend through a credit line instead of selling - with tiered memberships, travel cashback and premium Visa perks. The risks are equally clear: borrowing costs, portfolio volatility/liquidation risk, and a protection program that was still 'not yet live' at review time.
PST.NET
A niche virtual-card service for online/media-buying use cases with crypto funding - usable for its purpose, but tier subscriptions, per-card fees and the niche positioning make it a poor general spending card.
