Ether.fi is set to introduce a unique 'crypto-native' credit card that will utilize the Scroll Ethereum layer-2 scaling network for transaction settlements. The Visa card, named Ether.fi Cash, allows users to make cryptocurrency payments wherever Visa is accepted. The card, available in Pepe, Wojak, Chad, and Whale tiers, is non-custodial, ensuring that crypto assets remain in users' wallets. Cardholders can borrow against various crypto collaterals, including eETH and Liquid vault LP tokens. Notably, the card can be paid off using native yields. By combining DeFi features with a credit card, Scroll aims to empower users to maximize their crypto holdings. The growing trend of crypto-friendly payment cards, supported by instant USD Coin conversions, is reshaping the financial landscape. While the crypto credit card market is projected to reach $152 billion by 2030, DeFi-powered credit cards remain scarce. Ether.fi, launched in 2023, has quickly gained popularity for its innovative restaking pools, attracting over $5.5 billion in total value locked.
