Mercuryo, Meteor Wallet partner for simplified crypto purchases

Global payments 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.

The feature lets users 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 on Meteor Wallet. Once again, a leading non-custodial wallet in the digital token space has chosen Mercuryo’s on-ramp solutions,” Aviessa Khoo, Executive Director at Mercuryo Singapore, commented on the integration.

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

Crypto.news reported NEAR Protocol’s token surged 54% in late December, contributing to a yearly gain of 175%, with its value hitting $3.55. The growth is attributed to increased on-chain activity and sustained interest despite a pullback from venture capitalists.
