Cardholders can open a line of credit to get cash to spend on the card. Cryptocurrency will serve as collateral and rates, varying by region, start at 0%.

U.K., France and Germany customers will be the first to start using the card in the first quarter of 2022. U.S. customers will follow in the second quarter. The company opened up a wait list for the Crypto Life that will initially support BTC, ETH, USDT, EURT, USDC, XRP, BXX, BCH and LTC.

Fintech company Baanx will provide program management and infrastructure for the card.

Earlier in the year, Ledger raised $380 million a Series C funding round, valuing the business at $1.5 billion.
