"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.
