HIFI

Crypto-card enabling wallet-based spending and loans

Overview

HiFi Bridge provides a fintech service that lets everyday users spend cryptocurrency directly through a card linked to Apple Wallet. Users connect a crypto wallet, add the HiFi Card to Apple Wallet, and pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, or USD from their crypto holdings or fiat, with transaction fees and up to 3% rewards; the platform also offers crypto-backed loans up to $1,500. The product combines a wallet-to-card experience, Apple Wallet integration, rewards, and crypto-backed loans to reduce the need to convert crypto for everyday purchases. Its goal is to make crypto usable in daily life by giving users simple, secure access to spending and small credit without complex conversions.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • HIFI migrated $40 million in stablecoins onto Flow EVM on June 11, 2026.
  • Developers use HIFI APIs for payroll, remittances, payouts, and neobank launches.
  • Visa-enabled stablecoin settlement gives HIFI immediate merchant reach across 175 million locations.

What critics are saying

  • Stripe acquired Bridge in February 2025, compressing HIFI's strategic independence.
  • Visa and Bridge plan 100-country card expansion by end-2026, intensifying platform competition.
  • If bank or Visa partnerships weaken, HIFI's payments infrastructure business loses distribution fast.

  • Visa and Bridge expanded HIFI-linked cards to 18 countries on March 3, 2026.
