AsiaPay is exploring different possibilities through cryptocurrencies to give merchants a better and flexible way in how payment is accepted, "AsiaPay CEO Joseph Chan said, "Merchants and businesses will have more flexibilities to collect payments via prevailing crypto, such as USDT and BTC, etc. Beyond that, the crypto payment also plays an important part in AsiaPay's Web 3.0 strategy in the digital assets space"
