$1.8M pre-seed company promising 5% flat cashback funded by DeFi yield — Crypto.com ran that exact playbook and slashed rates twice once the subsidy math stopped working. MoonPay dropped $100M on Iron and $175M on Helio specifically to pipe stablecoin rails into every card issuer they can find — they win regardless of whether Moto's unit economics hold up. Calling this a "credit card" is generous when every dollar spent is fully collateralized by deposited assets — that's a margin account with a Visa Infinite wrapper and Netflix bundled in.
