Singapore-based Crypto.com, known for its numerous sponsorship agreements and recognition in the cryptocurrency markets, has once again made headlines with its latest partnership. The exchange has announced a partnership with PayPal and Paxos to become the preferred platform for PayPal’s recently announced stablecoin project, PayPal USD.
Crypto.com Leveraging All Its Strengths
According to a press release on September 28, Crypto.com currently has the largest liquidity pool for PYUSD trading pairs across the cryptocurrency markets.
