➥ Is Neobank The New Meta? As crypto natives, we hate switching between wallets, banks, and DeFi apps. Turns out, so do non-crypto users. Crypto Neobanks bring everything together so you can save, spend, send, and earn from one place. Here’s how they’re starting to dominate in 30s 🧵 — — — ► What is a NeoBank? A crypto neobank is a digital bank built for the crypto economy. It combines the ease of traditional banking with the control of DeFi, letting users manage fiat and crypto in one place. ➤ All-in-one access: Save, spend, send, and earn from one account. ➤ Stablecoin base: Use $USDT, $USDC, $USDe or any stablecoins as spendable money. ➤ Built-in ramps: Move between crypto and fiat instantly with linked cards. ➤ User control: Self-custody or audited contracts keep funds under your ownership. — ► Leading Crypto Neobanks Each platform has its unique focus, yet they all strive to integrate DeFi with everyday finance while offering various incentives.
