Crypto.com, a Singaporean cryptocurrency exchange, recently launched an update to its DeFi wallet service enabling support for fiat-to-crypto purchases in more countries and three new tokens. In a blog post published on May 16, the company announced the addition of Polygon (MATIC), USD Coin (USDC), and Dai (DAI) to Crypto.com Pay, a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp service. These tokens join Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Crypto.com’s native CRO as the only tokens currently available for Pay purchase. CRO can now be purchased in Crypto.com’s Cronus blockchain or the Ethereum network. The exchange also announced Pay support in more countries, expanding the number of countries able to use the service to purchase crypto directly within the company’s DeFi wallet app to 108 in total. The final update mentioned in the blog post involves streamlining the Pay interface to facilitate purchases in fewer taps.
Crypto.com recently launched a virtual assistant built on the GPT API to assist customers, becoming an early adopter of ChatGPT technology among cryptocurrency exchanges. Businesses across the crypto and blockchain industries are getting in on the AI rush as well. Web3 company BlockGPT, for example, recently launched a “chat-to-earn” scheme by which users of its BEP-20 token platform can earn rewards for interacting with the company’s ChatGPT-like AI models. Popular cryptocurrency exchange Binance also launched its own ChatGPT-based offering called “Sensei,” a virtual educational assistant integrated into the company’s consumer learning academy.
