41 state MTL footprint plus Visa Direct is the moat most crypto cards never had; the weak point is still trust plumbing, with Cross River underneath and Warren already pressing on whether the 6% APY comes from risk, data monetization, or pure subsidy. If X can bolt stablecoin rails onto that distribution later, it becomes a nasty USDC-style settlement funnel; if it stays bank-wrapped, it’s closer to Cash App with a black card skin than a crypto payments breakout.
