Grab, the super app offering ride-hailing, food delivery, and digital payments in South Asia, has partnered with payments firm Triple-A to allow users in Singapore to pay using five cryptocurrencies. The crypto top-ups in GrabPay Wallet were rolled out on March 12, according to Triple-A. The five cryptocurrencies that can be used for everyday transactions are bitcoin, ether, StraitsX's Singapore dollar-backed stablecoin XSGD, Circle's USDC stablecoin, and Tether's USDT stablecoin. Grab had previously announced plans to conduct a pilot for a Web3 wallet within the super app in partnership with Circle.
