- Summary:
- The cost card can be opened immediately and is free of Ledger's Live App and allows users to use their digital token for Fiat purchases.
London – April 23, 2025 12:00 CET: The Global Payment Infrastructure Platform Mercury has launched the Spend, a new crypto debit card powered exclusively by the MasterCard Network. Available via Ledger Live, the best companion app to safely manage crypto and NFT, sell and change crypto, ledger users can now use the debit card expense to make purchases using their digital tokens. Users' holdings are converted from crypto to fiat and can be funded directly from self-custody.
The cost card, which can be opened immediately and is free of Ledger's live app, provides 7 million ledger users with the ability to use their digital token holdings to fund FIAT purchases to more than 150 million merchants worldwide where MasterCard is accepted. During the launch, the cost card for BTC (Bitcoin) and ETH (ETHEREUM) is available, along with Stablecoins and additional digital tokens that can be added in the coming months.
Launching a cost card represents an evolution of the web3 space, while people are increasingly demanding solutions that allow them to use their digital assets for payments easily and safely as a traditional debit or credit card. Spending, compatible with Apple Pay or Google Pay, can be used seamlessly online and in-store.
Adding a spend to Ledger Live will allow users of the most popular hardware purse that seamlessly fund their accounts at a minimal and transparent cost while also benefiting state-of-the-art security. Ledger customers who make a purchase with expenditure will also benefit from MasterCard's stable consumer protection including AML and KYC protocols.
“We're glad to launch Ledger's spending, the main non-custodial hardware wallet that won a big cult-like cult that follows crypto lovers, who make self-custody that is both accessible-and cool,” said Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and CEO at Mercuryo. “Ledger, Mercuryo and Mastercard share the same vision of using state-of-the-art technology to deliver an seamless user experience, making this cooperation perfectly.”
“We are happy to see Mercuryo joining the family of ledger card programs, which is directly available and safely manageable from within Ledger Live,” said Jean-Francois Rochet, executive vice president of consumer services in Ledger. “This is the second service provided by Mercury to Ledger Live users, after crypto purchase services. Card programs that offer the ability to combine directly with self-custody to give users the best possible experience. The cost card, paired with the power of Mastercard's global payment network, will bring Ledger users to spend their crypto.”
Spending, currently available to users in the European Economic Area (EEA), provides some benefits such as an optimal user experience and spending control, including flexible limitations. The monthly spending limit for spending is € 40,000.
