Mercuryo, Meteor Wallet partner for simplified crypto purchases

Global payment infrastructure provider Mercuryo announced the integration of its on-ramp solutions into Meteor Wallet.

The wallet supports multiple blockchains, digital tokens and decentralized finance (defi) applications.

This feature allows users to purchase cryptocurrencies using credit and debit cards or Apple Pay. It facilitates access to the NEAR protocol, a layer-one blockchain that operates as a community-run cloud computing platform.

Meteor Wallet is an interface for managing digital tokens and accessing defi services and decentralized applications (dApps) on the NEAR blockchain.

“We are delighted to launch fiat to crypto on-ramps at Meteor Wallet. Commenting on the integration, Mercuryo Singapore Executive Director Aviessa Khoo said, once again, one of the leading non-custodial wallets in the digital token space has chosen Mercuryo’s on-ramp solutions.

Meteor aims to be the primary wallet of the NEAR blockchain and is available as both a web wallet and browser extension.

Crypto.news reported that NEAR Protocol’s token surged 54% at the end of December, contributing to a 175% year-on-year gain, reaching $3.55 in value. The growth is attributed to increased on-chain activity and sustained interest despite the retreat of venture capitalists.
