Spend Your Crypto with Ledger: The CL Card Comes to the US

Before You Dive In: 

— Ledger is thrilled to announce that it is expanding the CL Card, a Visa crypto card, to the United States. 

— The CL Card, powered by the crypto payments platform Baanx, offers 1% Bitcoin cashback and direct paycheck deposits.

— US residents can now seamlessly bridge their traditional finances with Bitcoin, maintaining self-custody while gaining everyday usability and earning rewards on every purchase.

Living the Crypto Life: More Ways to Use Your Bitcoin

We’re excited to announce that the CL Card will be expanding across the United States—a significant step forward in maximizing what you can do with your crypto. 

Crypto isn’t just about hodling; it’s about having the freedom to use your assets when you want, how you want, while maintaining the self-custody and financial autonomy that make cryptocurrency revolutionary in the first place.

So much more than just another crypto card, the CL Card, powered by Baanx, also offers 1% BTC cashback on your purchases, providing an effortless, DCA-like approach to gradually acquiring Bitcoin, with the potential for your cashback rewards to one day surpass the value of your original purchase.

Even better? You can direct-deposit your paycheck straight into your CL Card account and automatically convert it to crypto, making your Bitcoin accessible for everyday spending, without the hassle of shuffling between crypto and fiat accounts.

The CL Card preserves what matters most in crypto—your funds stay in self-custody until you decide to top up the card. At the same time, it works just how you’d expect, running on Visa’s network of over 90 million merchants worldwide.

America’s Regulatory Bitcoin Breakthrough

For years, launching crypto products in the US meant navigating unclear rules and conflicting requirements. So companies were forced to take their innovation elsewhere while US consumers got left out.

Now, that’s finally changing. The emerging regulatory landscape is opening doors that were once closed, and the timing couldn’t be any better. Close to 28% of American adults now own crypto, and another 14% are planning their first purchases this year. Crypto’s user base is constantly growing, and those users need tools, like the CL Card, that make their crypto work for them in everyday life.

Ledger: Self-Custody Meets Usability

As Bitcoin hits new all-time highs, gaining recognition as a legitimate store of value and regulatory frameworks mature, Americans are now perfectly positioned to integrate digital assets into their daily financial lives without compromising on ownership or security. Through expanding options for users, Ledger is providing a bridge between America’s financial present and its digital future.

Living the crypto life means having ownership and access to your digital assets while enjoying seamless real-world utility. Whether you’re shopping online, grabbing dinner, or traveling across the country, the CL Card lets you spend your Bitcoin your way and stack some Sats with every purchase.

Are you ready to be part of America’s new crypto frontier? US residents (with the exception of residents in the states of New York and Vermont) can sign up now to be notified when the CL Card becomes available. The future of American finance is being built today, and it starts with putting true financial sovereignty back in people’s hands.
