The Cardano blockchain has now been integrated into the DFX.swiss platform, bringing its native token ADA to retail store payments. With the integration, ADA is now a part of Open Crypto Pay, a payments standard developed by DFX.swiss. Through the partnership, customers can now pay with ADA in 137 SPAR stores across Switzerland, as announced by the Cardano Foundation.
Open Crypto Pay also allows users to use their ADA from their native wallets directly at checkout. DFX.swiss provides a direct bridge into the traditional banking infrastructure, enabling users to buy or exchange ADA directly into fiat currencies. Cyrill Thommen, DFX.swiss CEO, said that Open Crypto Pay demonstrates Cardano’s value in daily payments for both consumers and merchants.
ADA is now also integrated with the urble app, a savings platform created by Swiss FinTech Brick Towers. DFX.swiss announced a partnership with urble earlier this year. Ralph Hofacker, Co-CEO of Brick Towers, noted that the combination of regulated infrastructure and user-centric applications makes it possible to implement saving and payments based on Cardano in a simple way.
