Cryptocurrency Hardware Wallet Firm Ledger launches a Crypto Life (CL) Visa card in the US, offering users 1% cashback on Bitcoin (BTC) or USDC upon purchase, and the ability to deposit your salary directly into an on-chain card account via bank transfer.
Ledger’s CL Visa cards are facilitated by Fiat-to-On-Chain card enabler Baanx. Baanx offers independent crypto cards such as Metamask, Tools for Humanity and, more recently, the wallet company Exodus.
Big Card Networks MasterCard and Visa are consistent with the world of independent crypto and the rapid growth of regions such as Stablecoin Payments. Data on CL card usage shows that home purchases dominate crypto card usage at 63% of total transactions, with entertainment and fashion categories showing the strongest growth.
Jean-Francois Rochet, EVP of Ledger’s consumer services, said the collaboration brings the CL card to millions of US users with cashback features that are attractive to Bitcoin holders. “Living a cryptographic life means having more ownership, access and real-world utility than digital assets,” he said in a statement.
“The CL card, designed for ledgers, is a step towards mainstream, non-obligatory crypto payments.
CL cards will be available in the United States (excluding New York and Vermont) on June 30, 2025.
