Overview

Plasma One is the consumer card from the team behind the Plasma stablecoin chain, designed for people who hold and spend dollar-denominated stablecoins. The card is issued by Rain (a Visa principal member) and accepted everywhere Visa is. You keep your USDT, USDC, or USDS in your own on-device wallet — Plasma One is non-custodial — and every transaction settles via the Plasma network. The card pays tiered cashback in XPL, the chain's native token — 2% on Lite, 3% on Core and 4% on Platinum — and your idle stablecoin balance earns up to ~3.6% APY.

Who Plasma One is best for

Plasma One is best for stablecoin-native users who want a simple, low-fee way to spend USDT or USDC globally without converting to bank balances. If you're already holding stablecoins and want them to earn a yield while still being instantly spendable, it's an excellent fit. The card is currently iOS-only and requires an invitation code — request one from the Sign Up button on this page and we'll mail it to you.

Fees, in detail

FX fees are 0% on USD and EUR transactions and 1% on all other currencies — among the lowest of any crypto card. USD₮ transfers on the Plasma chain are zero-fee, so funding and moving your balance costs nothing. Card pricing is tiered: the Lite tier is free, Core costs $120/yr (or a 1-year lock-up of 10,000 XPL), and Platinum requires a 1-year lock-up of 100,000 XPL. Withdrawal and partner fees are surfaced in-app before you confirm each transaction.

Cashback and rewards

Cashback is paid in XPL, Plasma's native token, and scales by tier: 2% on Lite, 3% on Core and 4% on Platinum. Because cashback is in XPL, the value moves with the broader Plasma ecosystem. The Platinum tier layers premium perks on top of the base rate — it covers Claude Pro and ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, pays up to $600 in airline payback, and returns 10% on AI subscriptions — so heavy AI and travel spenders get the most from the top tier.
