Crypto.com Lists Dai (DAI)

Buy DAI at true cost with USD, EUR, GBP and 20+ fiat currencies

<HONG KONG, August 20, 2019>  –  Crypto.com, the pioneering payments and cryptocurrency platform, announced today that it has listed Dai (DAI) to its App. DAI joins a growing list of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins on the Crypto.com platform, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), XRP, TrueUSD (TUSD), PAXOS (PAX), and its own CRO Tokens.

Developed by the MakerDAO team, DAI is a USD-pegged stablecoin running on the Ethereum blockchain. Its $1 USD equivalent is maintained through a dynamic system of Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs), autonomous feedback mechanisms, and appropriately incentivized external actors.

With DAI added to the Crypto.com, users can now purchase it at true cost with USD, EUR, GBP and 20+ fiat currencies – credit card and bank transfer both supported. As Crypto.com also offers the Crypto.com Visa Card, this adds additional utility to DAI as users can easily convert cryptocurrencies into fiat currencies and spend at over 40m merchants globally.

Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com said: “Stablecoins play a critical role in the adoption of cryptocurrencies. We are thrilled to welcome DAI to the Crypto.com platform and look forward to working together on accelerating the world’s transition to cryptocurrency.”

Rune Christensen, CEO of MakerDAO said: “The integration of DAI across the Crypto.com ecosystem opens a new world of access, and stability, for millions of users around the world.”
