Mercuryo has launched the Spend crypto debit card in partnership with Ledger and Mastercard, allowing users to convert crypto to fiat for everyday purchases. Initially supporting Bitcoin and Ethereum, the card is available through Ledger Live with plans for expanding digital asset options. Users can shop at millions of merchants globally while retaining control of their assets, and comprehensive consumer protections are included.
Mercuryo, a digital currency service provider, has launched a new cryptocurrency debit card named Spend, in collaboration with Ledger, a well-known hardware wallet provider, and Mastercard. This card allows users to seamlessly convert their cryptocurrency holdings into fiat currency at the point of purchase, ideal for everyday transactions. Presently, this service is available via Ledger Live, the app linked to Ledger’s self-custody wallets.
Upon launch, the Spend card supports Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions but future enhancements are in the works to include stablecoins and other digital assets. Ledger boasts a robust user base of over seven million worldwide, and users can activate the Spend card directly through the app without facing any additional fees, which is a significant benefit.
Cardholders of Spend can shop at more than 150 million merchants globally that accept Mastercard, effectively bridging the gap between cryptocurrency and conventional payment systems. Users maintain full control over their assets through self-custody and can fund their cards straight from their wallets. The main goal, according to Mercuryo representatives, is to simplify the use of digital currencies for daily spending while ensuring security and autonomy are upheld through self-custody.
Ledger officials highlighted that this initiative represents a continuation of their previous collaboration, which included integrating crypto purchasing features into Ledger Live. They emphasized that incorporating card functionality within a self-custody platform enhances user flexibility while maintaining security standards. Additionally, the Mastercard-branded debit card is backed by robust consumer protection measures, including anti-money laundering (AML) compliance and know your customer (KYC) protocols for every transaction completed on the network.
In other news, Mercuryo is expanding its offerings following a partnership with Revolut to roll out Revolut Pay. This platform allows users to purchase digital currencies easily on non-custodial wallets like Ledger, MetaMask, and Trust Wallet. The service launched in February 2025, marks a new step in Mercuryo’s efforts to provide users with a reliable and cost-effective on-ramp solution for engaging with digital currencies.
