PayMaya Simplifies Cryptocurrency Trading with All-in-One App Experience

PayMaya Cryptocurrency
PayMaya today announced the launch of its cryptocurrency (crypto) feature within its all-in-one finance app experience, allowing Filipinos to easily buy and earn digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum for as low as P1.
Crypto can be a difficult concept to grasp for a large number of people. A crypto account usually requires the download and the completion of a verification process before it can be used. You'll also need a way to store money, such as a bank account or an e-wallet app.

PayMaya's latest feature makes it easier than ever for everyone to get started with cryptocurrency by providing an all-in-one experience. There is no need to create a new account, request an upgrade, or utilize a different app. Unlike other e-wallets and apps, PayMaya enables you to learn how to use cryptocurrency, deposit funds into your wallet, buy and sell coins, and spend your cryptocurrency earnings without ever leaving your PayMaya account.

All you need is an upgraded PayMaya account to begin trading in a number of the most popular cryptocurrencies directly from your Philippine Pesos PayMaya wallet. Additionally, you can smoothly buy and sell cryptocurrency at any moment with no additional cash in or cash out expenses.

PayMaya is licensed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas as an Electronic Money Issuer (EMI) and a Virtual Asset Services Provider (VASP) (BSP). Consumers can enjoy safe and legitimate crypto transactions thanks to PayMaya's strong track record of security and reliability, as evidenced by its 99.9% app uptime.

PayMaya is currently rolling out the feature progressively to its base. Other popular coins and tokens available for trading are Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), Uniswap (UNI), Solana (SOL), Quant (QNT), Polkadot (DOT), Polygon (MATIC), and Tether (USDT), with more coming soon.

PayMaya developed this service in collaboration with Coinbase Institutional as part of its Invest platform. Coinbase is the world's largest publicly traded cryptocurrency startup and the trusted bridge to the crypto-economy. Coinbase Institutional provides a comprehensive array of products and services, including custody, prime brokerage, trading tools, and analytics, as well as an enterprise infrastructure built on a secure platform. Coinbase Institutional delivers the scalability and stability necessary to participate successfully in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
