This is exactly what we are doing at @aion_org, solving all the 3 points mentioned here and more.
Crypto cards do have a future if we want someday for crypto to be the standard of payments, accepted everywhere like cash and fiat is right now. That day is probably a bit further down the line but one step at a time we can get there.
This is the proper way to build a crypto credit card today:
1. User deposits into a vault, which earns using yield-bearing dollars (e.g., sUSDe, USDai), t-bill yield, and DeFi yield.
2. DefiBank issues a no-cost USD loan against your crypto (like a credit line). If the loan originator works with a good strategy manager, they can probably make more from management/performance fees on the vault. Unpaid balance interest still applies ofc.
3. The user spends from the loan and repays their debt from the vault. Repaying should be as simple as paying off a credit card, a one-click action that unwinds your vault position and pays back the protocol.
***Room for improvement: issuing the loan to an agent who controls your wallet, which has set parameters for spending the dollars (e.g., no buying memecoins on pump.fun).
Btw, @ether_fi does 1-3 already. Any other prepaid debit card today that forces you to sell your tokens into USD for the card is not only tax-disadvantaged, but also can't compete on yield without selling tokens or using market dollars (unsustainable).
How AION's liquidity model works
Borrowers: Stake USDC, get credit
LPs: Deposit USDC, earn 3-4% APY
Protocol: Matches supply/demand
Everyone wins:
✅ Borrowers: Access to credit
✅ LPs: Higher yields
✅ Protocol: Sustainable revenue
