Sushi Integrates Transak Fiat Onramp

Cointime Official

Sushi has announced its partnership with Transak to integrate its fiat on-ramp into the Sushi app, allowing users to buy over 130 cryptocurrencies directly from the app homepage using any of the 21+ local payment methods supported from almost any country in the world.

The integration is a quality-of-life improvement that offers users easier access to DeFi. The Transak fiat on-ramp allows users to buy cryptocurrencies directly via credit card, debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The process of purchasing crypto via the Transak fiat on-ramp is simple and intuitive, with users inputting the currency they wish to pay in, the method of payment, and the token they would like to receive. The integration changes nothing about the Sushi app or any of its underlying contracts, with the only difference being the Buy Crypto option on the user interface.

As mentioned in the announcement, in addition to Transak, there are several other fiat onramps available, including Coinbase, Onramper, Moonpay, Binance, Crypto.com, Kraken, and Simplex.

  • The EU will collect data proving that cryptocurrency PoW mechanisms "seriously" harm the environment and plans to develop sustainability standards

    On September 28th, the European Commission released a tender contract worth 800,000 euros (approximately $842,000) aimed at mitigating the "significant harm" that cryptocurrency poses to the environment. The research, which will end on November 10th, will establish standards that will be incorporated into potential future EU policies to curb the impact of cryptocurrency on climate change and develop new energy efficiency labels for blockchain. The European Commission stated in the tender document that "there is evidence that crypto-assets can cause significant damage to the climate and the environment," which could undermine the EU's greenhouse gas reduction targets, indicating that new sustainable development standards may be adopted in the future. EU legislators are concerned about the energy-intensive PoW consensus mechanism that supports blockchain such as Bitcoin. The EU's research will be completed within a year and will study green issues related to the use of water, waste, natural resources, and energy by cryptocurrencies. (CoinDesk)
