Plain English

Etherfi Cash is a Visa debit card product from EtherFi (the liquid restaking protocol). Funded directly from a user’s self-custody wallet — spends backed by collateral that earns staking yield. Launched in 2024. Available in 100+ countries.

How it actually works

Cardholders deposit ETH or weETH; the protocol uses it as collateral for spending. Real-time card processing converts crypto at point of sale. The collateral continues earning restaking yield (3–5% APR) while serving as the card’s reserve. 1% cashback in ETH.

What it means for you

For HNW users actively holding ETH/weETH, Etherfi Cash is the most yield-efficient card product — you spend against collateral that’s earning yield, rather than spending pre-converted fiat. Truly self-custody compared to CeFi alternatives. Best for users wanting to live partially on crypto while keeping principal staked.
