[Crypto Payment Card Test: Ether.fi Has the Lowest Overall Cost, Plasma and Backpack Rank Second and Third] BlockBeats News, July 12, crypto KOL Nikita disclosed that he conducted a €9.69 transaction test in Europe using six crypto payment cards: Ether.fi, Plasma, Backpack, Lava, Jup Mobile, and KAST. After factoring in exchange rates, fees, and cashback, Ether.fi ranked first with an actual cost of $10.72, Plasma came in second at $10.93, and Backpack ranked third at $11.07. The test revealed that the actual spending costs among different crypto payment cards vary by approximately 5%, primarily determined by forex spreads, fees, and cashback mechanisms. Ether.fi consistently achieved the best performance due to favorable exchange rates and on-chain cashback; Plasma, despite having less competitive exchange rates compared to some newer products, maintained second place thanks to its 3% cashback. KAST, due to poor exchange rate performance and additional fees, was once again the most expensive product in the test. [Original Link]
