Partnership Announcement: A Game Changer for Travelers
On February 27, Crypto.com, the Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency payments provider, revealed an exciting partnership with Travala.com, a travel booking platform that’s all in on crypto. This collaboration is set to make your travel booking process smoother than that time you realized you forgot your wallet during a trip.
The Integration Explained
Gone are the days when booking your dream vacation felt like solving a Rubik’s Cube. With this new integration, Crypto.com’s payment application will now be featured on the Travala.com website, meaning booking is just a click (or two) away. Previously, customers faced the headache of manually transferring crypto from their wallets—almost as frustrating as trying to decipher airline baggage fees.
What Does This Mean for Travelers?
Not just convenience, folks. This partnership means that over 1 million Crypto.com users can now access a whopping 2 million accommodations in 230 countries. That’s right—your next vacation can be booked with a few taps on your phone, and you can pay with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), or Crypto.com’s own CRO token. Talk about options!
Crypto Spreads Its Wings: New Payment Methods
Travala.com isn’t just sitting pretty on a pile of crypto; they now accept traditional payment methods like credit cards and PayPal alongside 25 different cryptocurrencies. It’s like they’re saying, ‘We’ve got something for everyone’—even your tech-averse uncle who still thinks the internet is a passing fad.
Words from the Wise
In a statement that could belong on a motivational poster, Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek praised Travala as a “well-recognized brand in the crypto community.” On the flip side, Travala.com’s co-founder and COO Steve Hipwell expressed hopes that this partnership would help “drive cryptocurrency adoption to the masses.” Sounds like a magnificent quest, like the Fellowship of the Ring, but with fewer orcs and more vacation packages.
The Stablecoin Surge
As if the partnership wasn’t impressive enough, Crypto.com is doubling down on its support for stablecoins. Just last week, they launched support for two new stablecoins! On Feb. 27, TrustToken (TUSD) joined forces with Crypto.com, allowing TUSD payments through its Visa card at 40 million merchants worldwide. That’s nearly enough places to buy ice cream for a lifetime, and who doesn’t want that?
And just days earlier, on Feb. 17, Crypto.com became the first platform to list XSGD, a Singapore dollar-backed stablecoin crafted by Zilliqa and Xfers. Because why just travel to paradise when you can also pay in a stable currency?
