By GlobalDataElrond CEO Beniamin Mincu said: “Bringing our high throughput, low latency, and inexpensive transactional layer online is an important step for our launch. Convenience, ease of use, and utility for the ERD currency are another.”
Swipe, which has been recently acquired by Binance, allows users to buy, sell, convert, and spend over 30 cryptocurrencies on its platform.
Swipe’s wallet is associated with both virtual and physical Visa debit cards.
While making payments, the cryptocurrencies are automatically converted into fiat at merchant point-of-sales or online.
Swipe CEO Joselito Lizarondo said: “Elrond’s notable progress makes it seem like they have just recently appeared.
“We are excited to include them in our portfolio and be a part of their journey.”
