The Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com has recently rolled out an update to its decentralized finance (DeFi) wallet service, which now allows fiat-to-crypto purchases in additional countries and introduces three new tokens.
In a blog entry published on May 16, the firm revealed the inclusion of Polygon (MATIC), USD Coin (USDC), and Dai (DAI) to Crypto.com Pay, a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp service that facilitates the acquisition of cryptocurrency using credit or debit cards.
This new trio of tokens joins Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Crypto.com’s native CRO as the only tokens currently available for purchase through Pay. CRO can now be acquired on Crypto.com’s Cronos blockchain or the Ethereum network. The post indicated that support for additional tokens “will be added soon.”
Crypto.com also announced an expansion of Pay support to more regions, increasing the total number of countries where users can directly purchase crypto within the company’s DeFi wallet app to 108.

As reported by Cointelegraph, Crypto.com vice president Abhi Bisarya is “bullish” on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) within the cryptocurrency sector but plans to test the AI assistant on a pilot basis while the company gathers user feedback.
In the meantime, companies across the crypto and blockchain sectors are eager to participate in the AI trend. For instance, Web3 company BlockGPT recently introduced a “chat-to-earn” initiative that allows users of its BEP-20 token platform to earn rewards for engaging with the company’s ChatGPT-like AI models.
Additionally, popular cryptocurrency exchange Binance has launched its own ChatGPT-based solution called “Sensei,” a virtual educational assistant integrated into the company’s consumer learning academy.
