They confirmed our speculations that you won't be able to spend the coins directly from your hardware wallet and the Ledger Live app with the card. You will be required to top up the card by manually sending funds from your LL app to the card's account address. Those coins will then become spendable with the debit card.
I don't have fakebook account so I can't read that link, but this is exactly the same thing we see with all other crypto debit cards, just in this case card has ledger label on it.
Since Baanx group don't know addresses from ledger customers (I hope) this means that I can send coins even from hot wallet or exchange to that card, totally unrelated with ledger.
It would be terrible f they need some proof and connection that coins are really coming from ledger device address.

It sounds like Ledger got paid to advertise this, or they'll get paid per user or per transaction later on. Just like they offer several services from within Ledger Live.
Some people maybe remember several months ago when ledger received bunch of money ($380 Million) from various companies for their last fundraising campaign.

The link works fine without Facebook account on Tor
Not working in my case... and I tried with several new identities.
You must have some special early accees for Torbook metaverse.

I find the whole thing very disingenuous if I'm honest.
This is just a beginning, wait until we see new deals coming up, Ledger is very interested in becoming smatphone storage for nft mambo jumbo art.
Ledger consider bitcoin to be boring old tech so I speculate they are going to be used as main metaverse tool in future Cheesy
