Crypto.com将于今年晚些时

今年晚些时候，外国人将能够使用Tether（USDT）和USD Coin（USDC）等Stablecoins为韩国的公共交通付费。

Crypto.com, the cryptocurrency exchange, is partnering with Korean value-added network (VAN) provider KSNET to allow foreigners to pay for public transportation using physical or virtual Crypto.com cards, it announced on Monday (May 15).

加密货币交易所Crypto.com与韩国增值网络（VAN）提供商KSNET合作，允许外国人使用物理或虚拟Crypto.com卡使用公共交通费用，并于5月15日（5月15日）宣布。

The service will be piloted in Jeju Island in the fourth quarter of this year, and expanding to other regions is being considered, according to the company statement. The transportation payment service is available only to foreigners. Issuance and use of new Crypto.com cards have been restricted in Korea since November 2023.

根据公司声明，该服务将于今年第四季度在济州岛进行驾驶，并考虑扩展到其他地区。运输支付服务仅适用于外国人。自2023年11月以来，韩国的发行和使用新Crypto.com卡已受到限制。

The Crypto.com card is a prepaid card that can be used at Visa merchants and is funded by stablecoins, similar in concept to Hong Kong's Litdotpay card. Linked to the Crypto.com cryptocurrency exchange, the card offers convenient one-stop service from purchasing and loading cryptocurrencies to making payments. When users set up the auto-reload feature in the Crypto.com application, crypto assets held in their exchange accounts are automatically converted to fiat currency and loaded onto the card at a designated amount, eliminating the need for separate exchange procedures.

Crypto.com卡是一张可在Visa商人使用的预付费卡，并由Stablecoins资助，概念与香港的Litdotpay卡相似。该卡链接到Crypto.com加密货币交易所，提供便利的一站式服务，从购买和加载加密货币到付款。当用户在Crypto.com应用程序中设置Auto-Reload功能时，其交换帐户中持有的加密资产会自动转换为法定货币，并以指定的金额加载到卡上，从而消除了单独的交换过程的需求。

Crypto.com is also launching Crypto.com Pay, a service that allows users to scan QR codes at KSNET merchants to make payments using stablecoins.

Crypto.com还启动了Crypto.com Pay，这项服务允许用户在KSNET商家扫描QR码，以使用StableCoins进行付款。

A company official explained, "Settlements with KSNET for stablecoin payments are made in dollars, and merchants can choose to be paid in either won or dollars."

公司官员解释说：“与KSNET进行稳定付款的定居点是以美元进行的，商人可以选择以胜利或美元支付。”

"By eliminating several intermediary steps typically involved in cross-border payments, we can provide payment services with significantly lower fees," the official added.

这位官员补充说：“通过消除通常涉及跨境支付的几个中介步骤，我们可以以明显较低的费用提供付款服务。”
