According to the official announcement, the partnership will make the Binance Pay wallet through the integration of Alchemy fiat-crypto gateway available for both merchants and peer-to-peer transactions.

With the two firms combining forces, clients can now choose their preferred options for paying and getting paid with 40+ supported cryptocurrencies.

The service is available on the Binance app and is accessible to all of Binance users. Alchemy Pay has on its part charted a good growth curve since its inception. The startup prides itself as the one of the pioneers of the world’s first hybrid fiat and digital currency gateway solution for businesses and investors.

“Alchemy Pay was founded in 2018 by a team of fiat payment gateway veterans with a shared vision to build a practical bridge between fiat and crypto,” said Alchemy Pay CEO, John Tan. “When we started, the total value of the cryptocurrency market was less than a tenth of a percent of what it is today. Electronic payments outside of the $80 trillion fiat economy were virtually unknown to the world.”
