Verdict
The A tier reflects a product effectively governed by the Visa network (issued by Celtic Bank) and a credit card with Bitcoin rewards from 1.5% up to 4%, but protection should be read with care: the model is revolving credit, with the debt risks that entails, and it is US-only. No dedicated regulator is cited, and the BTC rewards expose the user to volatility.
Through this lens Fold is weak: a very low privacy score, centralised custody and full KYC for a conventional credit card that merely pays in Bitcoin. Its only crypto-native trait is the BTC reward on the Bitcoin chain, but the user holds no keys and escapes none of the issuer's control.
Promp's editorial rating based on real fees and net annual cost. Promp reviews third-party products independently.
"Sovereignty" rating: score computed on privacy/anonymity (30%), fund control (20%), censorship resistance (20%), trustless/auditability (20%) and costs (10%). Same data, different weights.
