Key Takeaways
1
Crypto neobanks combine banking UX with crypto or stablecoin balances, all app-based.
2
Stablecoin-first neobanks act as global dollar accounts for users without USD banking.
3
Bank-first neobanks (Revolut style) offer full banking but the card itself spends fiat.
4
Expect full KYC: neobanks are regulated financial institutions.
Practical Example
A freelancer in Argentina receives USDC for a project, deposits it in KAST at 1:1, and spends digital dollars with a Visa card while earning USD cashback — without ever opening a US bank account.
