KAST vs Plasma One

Two of the most talked-about stablecoin-native cards. KAST is custodial banking with very wide country reach; Plasma One is non-custodial, built natively on a stablecoin chain. Here's the honest side-by-side.

Side by side

Who each is for

• KAST - if you want the widest country coverage and an IBAN, and don't mind a custodial setup.
• Plasma One - if you want self-custody and bundled subscription/travel perks on a stablecoin-first chain.
• Custody - KAST holds your funds; Plasma One keeps custody with you.

Common questions

Which one should I choose?

Two stablecoin-native cards - custody, fees, reach compared.

Do these crypto cards require KYC?

Most do; a few no-KYC options exist but with lower limits and thinner protection. Completing KYC once usually unlocks higher limits and self-custody.
