Mercuryo Launches Mastercard-Powered Crypto Debit Card via Ledger Wallets

Through a collaboration with Mastercard and hardware wallet vendor Ledger, Mercuryo has unveiled a new cryptocurrency debit card called Spend.

At the point of sale, the card converts cryptocurrency holdings into cash, enabling users to make regular purchases. Ledger Live, the companion software for Ledger’s self-custody wallets, is now the way to access the service.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are supported by the debit card at launch, while stablecoins and other digital assets will be added in future versions. Through the app, Ledger’s user base—which numbers over seven million worldwide—can activate the card without paying extra costs.

Increasing the availability of cryptocurrency spending

Spend cards have the ability to make purchases at over 150 million Mastercard-accepting merchants worldwide, further integrating cryptocurrency spending into traditional payment networks. Self-custody allows users to fund the card straight from their wallets while maintaining control over their assets.

The launch aims to streamline people’s everyday use of digital currencies while preserving the security and independence that self-custody provides, according to Mercuryo officials.

The endeavor, according to Ledger officials, is an extension of the companies’ previous partnership, which started when Ledger Live was updated to include cryptocurrency buying capabilities. They pointed out that maintaining security standards while allowing direct card capability within a self-custody platform increases user flexibility.

Additionally, the debit card benefits from Mastercard’s consumer protection procedures, such as know your customer (KYC) standards and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, which are implemented for all network transactions.

What else has been going on with Mercuryo?

Following Mercuryo’s previous collaboration with Revolut to introduce Revolut Pay, a platform that makes it easier to buy digital currencies on non-custodial wallets like Ledger, MetaMask, and Trust Wallet, these innovations come next. The solution was first made available throughout Mercuryo’s merchant ecosystem in February 2025. Basically, Revolut Pay gives consumers an affordable choice for a trusted and safe on-ramp solution.
