KAST and EtherFi both let you spend crypto through traditional payment networks, but their structure, rewards, and fee models differ significantly. This 2026 comparison breaks down their design to help you choose the card that fits your spending style.
In Argentina, two people can spend the same $100 and pay very different amounts in pesos depending on which exchange rate applies. With official, blue, MEP, and card-based rates all operating at once, the conversion path matters as much as the purchase itself.

Stablecoin yield comes from real onchain demand, borrowing, trading, and capital deployment, not inflation or promos. When demand rises, yields rise. When it falls, so does yield.
