Our take on Fuse
Fuse is a self-custody wallet from Squads, the team behind one of Solana's most used multisig tools. Its Visa card spends USDC from your Fuse account, and Fuse says there are no fees for topping up, spending or paying in other currencies. That makes it one of the cheapest cards around for travel or for paying in pesos and reais from a dollar balance.
It's also limited. The app is iPhone only, the card is virtual, there's no ATM access and no cashback, and spending is capped at $2,000 a day. Fuse also gives you USD and EUR account details so you can receive bank transfers that land as USDC.
A genuinely fee-free stablecoin card if you have an iPhone and live in a supported country. Pair it with a card that pays cashback or handles cash.
How we scored Fuse: 6.5/10
