Credit Mode

Borrowing against your assets the moment you tap, instead of selling.

What is Credit Mode?

Credit Mode allows you to spend without selling your crypto.

Instead of converting your assets into cash every time you make a purchase, XPlace automatically borrows against your portfolio. Your assets remain invested while a credit line covers the transaction in real time.

This means you can continue benefiting from potential market growth while maintaining access to everyday spending power.

How it works

The merchant receives payment.

When you make a payment with your XPlace Card:

  1. You tap your card.
  2. XPlace checks your available collateral.
  3. A loan is issued instantly.
  4. Available collateral
  5. Your assets remain invested.
