How does Spending Power work?

Upon activating Spending Power, you will be granted a Spending Limit based on the current market price of the crypto token that you select to be used as collateral and the Loan-to-Value (LTV) percentage applicable to you.

Crypto held in your Crypto Wallet and Earn accounts may be used as collateral. However, locked up CRO may not be used as collateral.

The amount available to use on your Crypto.com Card will consist of your available Spending Limit and the funds that you top up to your Crypto.com Card as shown below:

When you make a transaction with your card, funds from your Card Top-Ups will be used first followed by funds from your Spending Limit. Funds from your Spending Limit will only be used when there are no more funds from Card Top-Ups available.

The available Spending Limit will be refreshed:

  • Daily at 00:00:00 UTC to reflect the latest market value;

  • When repayment occurs to reflect the new balance;

  • When collateral health reaches Critical (liquidation) and the Spending Limit becomes unavailable;

  • When a purchase or sale of the crypto used as collateral occurs;

  • When locking up or unlocking CRO;

Transactions made using your Spending Limit will not accrue interest until 7 days after each transaction. Thereafter, the amount used will continue to accrue interest until it is repaid.
