Verification: live (Argentina); launched 2026-01-14 as Argentina's first Bitcoin-backed Visa credit card, requiring 0.01 BTC initial collateral for up to 1M ARS monthly credit line; BTC is neither sold nor converted and requires no prior credit history; cardholders enjoy zero fees buying digital dollars and Bitcoin (official blog updated to 2026-07-03)

Innovative blend of Bitcoin hedging and daily spending in high-inflation economies

Facing fiat devaluation, Argentine users tend to hoard BTC; Lemon's collateralised credit card gives cardholders local purchasing power without liquidating core assets. [1]

Frequently asked questions

Will my collateral be liquidated if Bitcoin price drops sharply?

The platform maintains dynamic loan-to-value (LTV) monitoring; when coin prices approach the liquidation threshold, in-app margin call alerts are pushed, and failure to add collateral on time triggers partial liquidation.
