PayMaya recently launched its cryptocurrency feature on its app, allowing Filipinos to buy and sell digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum for as low as Php 1.
They are currently rolling out the feature progressively to its users. Other popular coins and tokens available for trading include Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), Uniswap (UNI), Solana (SOL), Quant (QNT), Polkadot (DOT), Polygon (MATIC), and Tether (USDT), with more coming soon.
