How CryptoSpend routes work

We compare full paths from crypto you already hold to everyday spend. Card legs reuse the verified Spend Optimizer fee model. Bank off-ramp is shown as a cost range with more steps and slower settlement — so “cheapest” is never judged on dollars alone.

Why bank off-ramp numbers differ by exchange

The Off-Ramp Registry stores separate convert + withdrawal friction for Bybit, Binance, Kraken and Coinbase by rail (SEPA, FPS/BACS, local AED). That is why Bybit→SEPA and Kraken→SEPA no longer share one global constant. Figures stay labeled modeled until each schedule is verified like card fees.
