The founder of the platform, Artur Shabak, mentioned that until the last moment the service worked in test mode for a limited number of clients. In his opinion, Paxful Pay will contribute to the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies.
“Until now, Paxful Pay has worked with a limited number of merchants - just over 100 - in selected regions to test the product and improve its capabilities. With the official launch, we are increasing the number of users and expect more merchants around the world to join us, ”added Shabak.
