$BTC Argentina Unleashes a Bitcoin-Backed VISA Credit Card
This is massive for real-world crypto adoption. Argentina just took a bold step forward as Lemon, the country’s second-largest crypto exchange, launched the first Visa credit card backed by Bitcoin. No banks. No credit score. No forced selling of BTC.
Users can now unlock peso credit using Bitcoin as collateral, meaning holders keep their BTC exposure while spending in the real economy. In a country where inflation eats savings alive, this is more than convenience — it’s financial survival powered by crypto.
This move turns Bitcoin from a “store of value” into a functional financial tool, especially for millions excluded from traditional banking. It’s exactly how crypto quietly replaces legacy systems — not with hype, but with utility.
Is this the blueprint other countries will soon follow?
