Mint Blockchain and RedotPay Forge Strategic Partnership to Build Consumer PayFi Network

We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with RedotPay, a global leader in cryptocurrency payment solutions, to advance consumer adoption of crypto payments and build a PayFi network.

As part of this collaboration, in addition to the $5 spending reward provided by RedotPay and 6,000 Mint points previously, Mint will offer an extra $5 spending reward per user. Users registering via Mint’s official invitation link will receive a $10 spending bonus in total rewards and 6,000 MPs. Users can claim and use the spending bonus upon virtual/physical card activation. (This initiative is limited to the first 2,000 users who activate via Mint's official invitation link).

Furthermore, users who spend with a RedotPay card for the first time will receive an exclusive PayFi commemorative NFT badge, part of the Expedition NFT series, which also includes future airdrop rights from Mint Blockchain.

RedotPay is a fast-growing cryptocurrency payment company based in Hong Kong, serving over 3 million users worldwide.

Additionally, it integrates with major payment platforms like PayPal, AliPay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, offering seamless contactless payment experiences. In December 2023, RedotPay announced a partnership with Binance Pay, allowing Binance Pay users to make direct deposits to their RedotPay cards.

In September 2023, RedotPay concluded its seed round of fundraising, achieving a company valuation of $60 million and raising $3 million when the product was just introduced to the market.

RedotPay CEO expressed strong confidence in the growing utility of digital assets, stating:

“According to recent research, there are more than 580 million crypto holders. Right now, only a small portion of them actively utilize their crypto. By continuing to expand and enhance the features of our solution, we will be able to significantly increase the financial inclusion and utility of cryptocurrencies.”

The integration of RedotPay into the Mint Blockchain ecosystem is poised to revolutionize the way users interact with crypto in their daily lives. By leveraging RedotPay’s cutting-edge technology, Mint Blockchain aims to bridge the gap between Web3 innovations and real-world applications, making crypto payments more accessible, seamless, and user-friendly.

With the gradual rollout of support for RedotPay Cards across Mint’s ecosystem, users will be able to enjoy streamlined payment solutions for a variety of use cases, including purchasing NFTs, paying for services within decentralized applications (DApps), and participating in exclusive Mint events and campaigns. These enhanced payment capabilities will eliminate barriers to adoption, such as complex wallet operations and manual token conversions, enabling a more inclusive experience for both crypto-savvy users and newcomers.

Furthermore, the synergy between RedotPay and Mint will extend to the broader Superchain ecosystem, creating unified payment channels that benefit multiple Layer2 projects. This interoperability will allow RedotPay Card users to transact seamlessly within diverse ecosystems, further cementing Mint Blockchain’s position as a core driver of innovation in the NFT and Web3 space.

By empowering users to spend cryptocurrency as easily as fiat across millions of merchants worldwide, the partnership will not only accelerate crypto adoption but also enhance the overall utility and value of the Mint Blockchain ecosystem. This initiative represents a significant step forward in fulfilling Mint’s mission of bringing NFT & blockchain technology to the mainstream.

With a commitment to user-centric features, security, and compliance, providers like RedotPay are paving the way for the future of financial transactions.

     Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has released a consultation paper suggesting updates to its regulatory guidelines for digital assets, with a focus on compliance requirements under the Corporations Act. The revisions to Information Sheet 225 (INFO 225) include 13 worked examples aimed at clarifying when digital assets qualify as financial products, such as stablecoins, packaged tokens, and staking services. In these examples, ASIC outlines scenarios involving exchange tokens, interest-bearing stablecoins, and tokenized assets such as concert tickets. The draft guidance proposes that classification depends on "inherent rights, interests, expectations, and product features that are offered together with the token." ASIC encourages cryptocurrency companies to apply for an Australian Financial Services License, providing them with a safe harbor from legal action.

  • BlackRock executive: More and more investors from different wealth classes are looking at Bitcoin as a hedging tool

    Bitcoin has been rising all the way, breaking through the $100,000 mark. A large part of the demand driving the rise in Bitcoin prices has recently flowed into Bitcoin ETFs. Jay Jacobs, head of thematic and active ETFs in the United States at BlackRock, said that since its launch in January of this year, the value of the IBIT ETF has grown to over $45 billion, and its value has increased by $4.1 billion in just the past month. Jacobs said that in addition to candidates who are more friendly to cryptocurrencies winning in elections, an increasing number of investors from different wealth levels are beginning to see Bitcoin as a tool to hedge against geopolitical risks and currency depreciation caused by inflation. As ETFs become an easy way for investors to understand Bitcoin price trends, mainstream interest in cryptocurrencies reaching a critical point is only a matter of time. (Jinse)

  • Matrixport: Solana’s funding rate is currently as high as 70% annualized, and a price correction may occur

    According to a report, Matrixport has released a chart today stating that Grayscale has submitted an application to convert Solana Trust into a spot ETF. Although the current asset management scale of the product is relatively small at $134 million, if approved, it will set an important market precedent for other ETF issuers. It is important to note that Solana's financing rate is currently as high as 70% annualized, which creates significant pressure on leveraged long positions. Historical experience shows that similar high financing rates are often related to price corrections, as was the case in March of this year when the SOL-USDT price fell under similar financing rate backgrounds.

Will the public understand the idea of applying separate self-assessment taxation? There are several issues that need to be resolved. We need to consider it carefully." At the same time, "whether cryptocurrency should be included in ETFs depends on whether cryptocurrency is an asset that needs to be made more easily accessible to the public."
