"We see our work with the XPOS Web 3.0 as a big step in revolutionizing what we own," concluded Pundi X CEO and co-founder Zac Cheah. The launch of XPOS Web 3.0 hopes to be a game-changer in enabling decentralized payments that give people back control over their assets. Finally, XPOS Web 3.0 doubles down on its commitment to enable easy Web 3.0 transactions by introducing the p(x)Card, a Near Field Communication (NFC)-empowered hardware wallet card developed jointly with renowned semiconductor manufacturer Infineon. This is because the XPOS Web 3.0 will support multiple blockchain networks including Bitcoin Lightning Network, Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche. With the XPOS, ordinary retailers can accept top coins like Bitcoin and Ether with just a scan of the QR code or a tap of a NFC enabled card. In fact, 93% of those who currently accept cryptocurrency as a payment instrument have already seen a positive impact on their business's customer metrics, such as customer base growth and brand perception, and they expect this to continue next year.

By leveraging on XSGD, we can enable greater transparency, accountability, and visibility using the concepts of Purpose Bound Money (PBM) to verify fund sources and automated milestone verification to unlock payouts and reward businesses as they embark on their green transformation journey.” said Mike Sun, VP Product, CarbonSeed.Earth. To contribute to the wider sustainability cause, StraitsX has collaborated with Carbonseed.Earth, which is building an incubation infrastructure for carbon projects. This pilot aims to bridge between the digital assets spent by cardholders and the fiat currencies needed to settle with merchants, reducing friction and achieving greater operational efficiencies. To mitigate the issue of unequal access to digital currencies and payments arising from network and geographical limitations, StraitsX has partnered with IDEMIA, a leading solutions provider in identity technologies to leverage the Hedera decentralised ledger, enabling users to transact stablecoins offline. We believe the solution is well suited to answer needs in the region.” said Sabrina Tachdjian, Head of Fintech & Payments at the HBAR foundation. “The digital assets landscape has been evolving and gaining traction as more businesses recognise the benefits of blockchain technology, but there is still untapped potential when it comes to using stablecoins as a means of payment in real-world use case applications.
