Triple-A, a leading digital currencies payments provider, partners with Grab to enable digital currencies investing for TransCrypt users with their GrabPay in Singapore. The collaboration allows users to buy digital currencies via GrabPay through TransCrypt (a Triple-A brand).
Digital currencies 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 digital currencies, 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 digital currencies payment services, including white-label digital currencies trading to financial platforms. Singapore is one of the countries that openly support blockchain projects and digital currencies. Homegrown bank DBS started Asia’s first bank-backed digital currencies trust service this year, allowing private banking clients to invest in digital assets.
“Digital currency trading has gained traction in Singapore, with digital currencies adoption of around 9.4% of its population. We are very excited to partner with Grab to power digital currencies trading through TransCrypt. This collaboration will allow us to expand digital currency access to more residents in Singapore,” said Eric, CEO of Triple-A.
Digital currency 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, digital currency has become more than just an investment as more companies accept digital currency, with more people using it to buy everyday items.
