Ledger Unleashes an Unprecedented Crypto Card in the USA
Ledger crosses a new milestone in cryptocurrency adoption. The French hardware wallet giant has just launched its CL crypto card in the United States. A tool aimed at facilitating the daily use of digital assets. More details in the following paragraphs!
In brief
- Ledger launches its CL crypto card in the United States with 1% cashback in bitcoin.
- Users can convert their salary into cryptocurrencies and spend via the Visa network.
A crypto card designed for bitcoin users
Available from June 30 (excluding New York and Vermont), Ledger’s CL card allows American users to spend their crypto assets with over 90 million merchants. This is possible through the Visa network. The latter has also just signed a partnership with OpenAI.
This service is powered by Baanx, a company specialized in crypto payment solutions. With each transaction, the user benefits from 1% cashback in bitcoin. Something that directly encourages Americans to adopt this solution daily!
In a press release, Ledger explains that living the crypto life means owning, accessing, and concretely utilizing one’s digital assets. This card therefore answers this vision by seamlessly connecting traditional finance to the world of bitcoin.
Another advantage: the ability to directly convert one’s salary into cryptocurrencies via a bank transfer. This makes spending in BTC or stablecoins simple and instant, without using external platforms. The funds obviously remain securely stored in the Ledger wallet until their use via Ledger Live.
Ledger wants to democratize crypto in real life
More than just a means of payment, the CL card embodies progress toward the integration of crypto assets in daily life. It meets a growing demand from users for self-custody of their funds. And not only that! It also offers usage flexibility.
This launch comes in a context where major companies like Visa or Mastercard are strengthening their presence in the crypto universe. With features designed for real use, Ledger thus transforms the user experience. Above all, it contributes to the rise of decentralized finance.
Ledger’s CL card symbolizes a step towards massive adoption of crypto payments. This approach could well inspire other market players to follow suit!
