Triple-A, a leading crypto payments provider, partners with Grab to enable crypto investing for TransCrypt users with their GrabPay in Singapore. The collaboration allows users to buy crypto via GrabPay through TransCrypt (a Triple-A brand).
Cryptocurrencies have gained greater acceptance during the pandemic, with Bitcoin’s price soaring to an all-time high this year.
“Grab recognizes the growing interest in cryptocurrencies, and our partnership with Triple-A demonstrates our openness to thoughtful collaborations in this space. Working with players like Triple-A who are recognized by the regulator also affirms our commitment to widen our offerings for our users in a safe and measured way,” said Wong Wenbin, Head of GrabPay, Grab Financial Group Singapore.
Founded by Eric Barbier in 2017, Triple-A is headquartered in Singapore, offering crypto payment services, including white-label crypto trading to financial platforms. Singapore is one of the countries that openly support blockchain projects and cryptocurrencies. Homegrown bank DBS started Asia’s first bank-backed crypto trust service this year, allowing private banking clients to invest in digital assets.
“Cryptocurrency trading has gained traction in Singapore, with crypto adoption of around 9.4% of its population. We are very excited to partner with Grab to power crypto trading through TransCrypt. This collaboration will allow us to expand cryptocurrency access to more residents in Singapore,” said Eric, CEO of Triple-A.
Cryptocurrency investments offer consumers more choice. Its decentralized nature also makes it easy for investors to buy and sell their digital assets. In the current climate, cryptocurrency has become more than just an investment as more companies accept cryptocurrency, with more people using it to buy everyday items.
