Lemon - one of the leading crypto exchanges in Argentina has just entered the traditional financial market with an innovative initiative. They have issued a Bitcoin-collateralized Visa credit card, marking the first product of its kind in the country.

What’s special about it? Users can borrow Peso without having to liquidate their Bitcoin. By locking a minimum of 0.01 BTC (equivalent to approximately 960 USD) as collateral, you can access a line of credit. This is a clever way for Bitcoin holders to leverage their assets while still maintaining their potential growth.

This trend reflects a shift in how crypto exchanges approach financial services—connecting the Web3 world with users’ everyday financial needs.

Wow, finally an exchange dares to play like this. Not selling coins and still borrowing money? --- This is what crypto should look like. Financial freedom starts with never being forced to liquidate. --- 0.01 BTC can leverage a credit limit? Lemon's move is pretty clever. --- Wait, is this being launched in Argentina? No wonder, inflation is crazy there. Crypto enthusiasts need to find ways to protect their assets. --- Can they really avoid forced liquidation? Seems risky. --- Amazing, hodlers finally don't have to choose between selling coins and using money. --- One idea, but I'm still a bit worried about this collateral ratio setting. Could it be too aggressive? --- The clash between Web3 and traditional finance—this momentum needs to be maintained.

0.01BTC collateralized to borrow pesos... You need to consider the interest rate structure over there in Argentina to evaluate the arbitrage opportunity, seems like there's something there.
