WHAT YOU NEED TO SPEND FOR CRYPTO CARDS TO PAY FOR THEMSELVES

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This post compares six paid crypto card tiers against their free versions to find the monthly spend needed to cover the annual fee. The cheapest are MetaMask Metal ($199 a year, break-even $829 a month, 3% vs 1% cashback capped at $10K a year) and Plasma One Core ($199, $900 a month, with rewards paid in XPL). In the middle are ether.fi Luxe ($199, $2,829 a month), ether.fi Pinnacle ($999, $5,530 a month) and KAST Premium ($1,000, $5,667 a month). The extreme case is KAST Private at $10,000 a year, which needs $28,778 a month, or over $345K a year in card spending. KAST cashback can't be withdrawn and may expire, and ether.fi and Plasma pay in tokens (ETHFI and XPL), so token prices change your real return.
