what's Lemon?
Lemon is a cryptocurrency platform originating from Latin America, designed to simplify access to digital assets for users in Argentina and the region. It enables seamless buying, selling, and holding of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum through an intuitive app. Users can generate weekly crypto profits and spend them via the VISA Lemon Card, bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology. The platform emphasizes user-friendly features like 24/7 operations and integration with Bitcoin layer-2 solutions such as Rootstock. Recently, Lemon introduced Argentina's first credit card backed by Bitcoin, allowing purchases in local currency with crypto collateral, further expanding crypto utility in everyday transactions.
