The terms explicitly state that when users transfer cryptocurrency or stablecoins to KAST, it is considered a sale of the relevant virtual assets to KAST, and users no longer retain ownership of the assets; the records displayed in the app are only denominated in USD and do not constitute account balances, deposits, or stored value. Furthermore, KAST emphasizes that it is not a bank, and user funds are not protected by deposit insurance. Since both KAST and ether.fi Cash offer stablecoin payment and crypto card services, they are direct competitors.
