  • If it fails?

    USDC is not a bank deposit. No FDIC, no FSCS, no DICGC.

/10 · Solid

Kast (KST / CAST in forums) is the business crypto-card. Put it next to RedotPay (consumer) and Mercury (fiat start-up bank). Never instead of FDIC.

What it is

Kast is a Singapore-born platform for spending USDC on Visa, with a business SKU. The user typed CAST / KST — same product. The balance is a stablecoin.

Best for: Teams that already hold USDC and need cards, not a first operating account.
