Revealing the Truth the Web3 Circle Doesn't Dare to Speak: Why Are Smart People Abandoning Traditional Cards for BTX Card?

As cryptocurrencies gradually integrate into the real economy, how to safely, compliantly, and efficiently convert digital assets into real-world purchasing power has long been a core challenge for everyday users. With tightening regulations and persistent barriers between traditional finance and crypto, U-cards—serving as a bridge between the crypto world and the real economy—are now entering a new phase of rapid development. This article will outline the evolution of the U-card industry, analyze the pain points of mainstream products, and introduce a truly user-friendly new U-card: BTX Card.

In the past, U-cards were often seen merely as "off-ramp tools," helping users conveniently convert cryptocurrencies into fiat for consumption. However, as crypto adoption rises and the stablecoin market grows, the role of U-cards is undergoing a profound transformation. They are now not only channels for asset conversion but also key strategic entry points for exchanges, asset management platforms, and native on-chain projects competing for users, building ecosystems, and offering financial services.The emergence of U-cards has lowered the threshold for ordinary users to participate in the crypto economy. For exchanges, U-cards accelerate user engagement and trading activity; for asset management companies, U-cards connect on-chain yields with real-world consumption; for on-chain projects, U-cards have become new vehicles for deepening user relationships and incentivizing engagement.

Despite the increasingly fierce competition in the U-card market, actual user experiences are often unsatisfactory, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  • High Fees: Many mainstream U-card platforms charge transaction fees as high as 1% or more, with some niche platforms charging even higher, significantly eating into users' assets.
  • High Application Thresholds & Complicated Processes: Some platforms require strict KYC and documentation, making the process complex and undermining the user experience.
  • Limited Functions and Payment Scenarios: Some U-cards only support overseas consumption or ATM withdrawals, making it difficult to integrate seamlessly into daily payments.
  • Security and Compliance Risks: Platforms lacking robust risk control and KYC measures pose asset security risks and may even threaten user account safety.
  • Noticeable Gaps Compared to Credit Cards: While convenient, U-cards still fall short in terms of credit limits, rewards, and financial services compared to traditional credit cards.

As crypto payments become increasingly popular, everyday users focus on several core issues when choosing a U-card:

  • Transparent and Low Costs: The lower and simpler the fee structure, the more attractive to users.
  • Convenient Application Process: No lengthy reviews—quick approval and ready-to-use.
  • Multi-Scenario Payment Support: Whether the card can be linked to mainstream payment apps (WeChat, Alipay, Apple Pay, Google Pay), and whether online and offline spending is frictionless.
  • Security and Compliance: Formal channels, reputable platforms, and avoidance of "black U" risks or card freezes.
  • Diverse Card Options: Availability of both virtual and physical cards to meet different user needs.
  • Ongoing Service and Experience: No annual or hidden fees; easy to cancel or maintain cards.

Precisely in response to these industry pain points and user needs, the BTX Card was born, offering multiple innovative advantages and poised to become the top choice for everyday users:

BTX Card only requires BitradeX platform KYC verification to apply—no complex reviews. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned user, you can get started with ease.

BTX Card is fully compatible with WeChat Pay, Alipay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay—covering both online shopping and offline spending, truly turning your crypto assets into a daily spending "wallet."

Offers both virtual and physical cards to meet diverse needs such as online shopping, offline spending, and travel. During promotional events, virtual card issuance fees can be waived—enabling a zero-cost trial.

Transaction fees are only 0.7% (as low as 0.4 USDT), significantly lower than mainstream platforms (such as Bybit/Bitget, which exceed 0.9%). There are also no annual fees, cancellation fees, or single-currency authorization charges.

Wherever you are, BTX Card charges 0% cross-border fees. Compared to Bybit, Binance, and other platforms with 1%-2% cross-border fees, this greatly reduces user costs.

No annual fee, no cancellation fee, and a monthly service fee of only 0.1 USDT. All charges are clear and transparent, so users can "use the card with total clarity" and no worries.

As crypto finance and real-world life become further intertwined, U-cards are not only about asset mobility and spending—they also represent industry innovation and the future of inclusive finance. With its ultra-low threshold, industry-leading fees, full-scenario payment support, and transparent, compliant service, BTX Card is setting a new benchmark as the go-to "off-ramp solution" for digital assets. If you want more freedom, convenience, and security in managing and spending your crypto, BTX Card is undoubtedly your top choice.Visit the BitradeX official website: https://www.bitradex.com/ Or follow the official X (Twitter) account: https://x.com/Bitradexen Be among the first to experience the all-new BTX Card and open the door to freedom in the digital economy era!

  • The Bank of Japan is reportedly planning further interest rate hikes; some officials believe the neutral interest rate will be higher than 1%.

    according to insiders, Bank of Japan officials believe that before the current rate hike cycle ends, interest rates are likely to rise above 0.75%, indicating that there may be more rate hikes after next week's increase. These insiders said that officials believe that even if rates rise to 0.75%, the Bank of Japan has not yet reached the neutral interest rate level. Some officials already consider 1% to still be below the neutral interest rate level. Insiders stated that even if the Bank of Japan updates its neutral rate estimates based on the latest data, it currently does not believe that this range will significantly narrow. Currently, the Bank of Japan's estimate for the nominal neutral interest rate range is about 1% to 2.5%. Insiders said that Bank of Japan officials also believe there may be errors in the upper and lower limits of this range itself. (Golden Ten)
