About dtcpay

From big ticket purchases to everyday items, dtcpay is now offering immense flexibility for its users to make seamless digital payments within the SGQR ecosystem, further empowering and enabling businesses and customers alike towards Web3 payments.

Press Release

Singapore, 25 July 2025 — dtcpay has announced its participation in the SGQR scheme, operated by NETS. This partnership is another important step in bridging Web3 payments of stablecoins and fiat currencies with traditional businesses.

Through this integration, users will be able to make SGQR payments on the dtcpay app by using the Scan & Pay feature at participating merchants. The collaboration will help to provide dtcpay users with unparalleled flexibility and convenience by letting them spend their stablecoins and fiat currencies effortlessly, in addition to further strengthening the local merchant Web3 payment ecosystem while enhancing the overall customer experience.

Why SGQR x dtcpay is a Game-changer

For Customers:

Pay using one unified SGQR code across multiple merchants.
Choose between stablecoins or fiat—flexibility at your fingertips.
Get real-time confirmation and transaction transparency.

For Merchants:

Simplify operations with one QR code to accept many payment types.
Tap into a growing base of stablecoin users.
Enjoy faster settlements.

What is SGQR?

SGQR is a single standardized QR code for e-payments and combines multiple payment schemes into a single SGQR label. Consumers just need to look out for the SGQR label to see which payment options the merchant accepts, while merchants only need to display one SGQR label instead of many labels. The successful implementation of SGQR has led to a wide adoption rate across Singapore, with over 40,000 NETS acceptance points from established franchises such as Arnold’s Fried Chicken to smaller local hawker stalls.

By integrating SGQR with the dtcpay app, customers can enjoy unique key benefits on the platform, such as the ability to easily pay by scanning one SGQR code and choosing their preferred payment method. Additionally, they can enjoy quick and secure payments through instant confirmation and real-time notifications. For businesses, this has the potential to enhance operation efficiency by streamlining their payment process through a single QR code, reducing complexity and eliminating the need to manage multiple systems.

A Seamless Payment Experience with SGQR and dtcpay

The collaboration between dtcpay and SGQR marks a game-changing development for the blockchain and payment industries. SGQR enhances local payment acceptance in Singapore through a unified QR code, while broader regional initiatives continue to pave the way for future interoperability with neighbouring countries. This growing connectivity will support dtcpay app users in enjoying more seamless payments across borders.

As a pioneering provider of blockchain payment solutions, our commitment is to further offer both businesses and consumers more flexibility by adding more ways to pay through our dtcpay app, as well as improving our core solutions:

Payments: Enabling businesses to accept payments with both fiat and stablecoins, offering a seamless experience for merchants and customers.
Wallets: Allowing users to store and transfer stablecoins and fiat currencies and securely withdraw funds.
Cards: The dtcpay Visa Infinite card (released at the end of January 2025) supports multi-currency spending, enabling users to swap and spend both stablecoins and fiat currencies seamlessly.

Together with SGQR, dtcpay’s suite of solutions continues to provide a seamless experience for spending stablecoins across the region.

Stablecoins are a type of digital currency designed to maintain a consistent value by being tied to traditional assets, like the US dollar. Unlike highly volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, stablecoins offer stability, making them ideal for transactions involving valuable assets like artwork. This enables both buyers and sellers to take advantage of the speed and efficiency of digital currencies, without worrying about the unpredictable price changes seen in other cryptocurrencies.

By adopting stablecoin payments, Yang Gallery caters to a new generation of tech-savvy collectors who appreciate the convenience and security of modern financial solutions. The integration of dtcpay simplifies the purchasing process for both collectors and the gallery. Clients can make purchases in stablecoins, while Yang Gallery receives payments in local currencies, ensuring a smooth transaction experience. This shift not only reduces transaction fees but also accelerates the purchasing process, enhancing customer satisfaction and streamlining the overall art-buying experience.

dtcpay: A Regulated and Trusted Payment Solution

dtcpay is a Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)-regulated Major Payment Institution (MPI), licensed to conduct Digital Payment Token (DPT) services. This regulatory status means that dtcpay operates under the strict oversight of the MAS, providing peace of mind to both Yang Gallery and its clients.

Stablecoins like USDC, USDT, WUSD, and the soon-to-be-supported FDUSD are all accepted through dtcpay’s Point-of-Sale (POS) system, ensuring smooth and efficient transactions.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

dtcpay’s stablecoin acceptance service has already garnered the trust of some of Singapore’s leading brands, further underscoring its reliability and efficiency. Notable establishments such as Metro and Capella Hotel Group are already utilizing dtcpay’s POS systems to accept stablecoins, cementing its position as a trusted payment solution for businesses across diverse industries.

“This is an exciting moment for Yang Gallery as we adopt dtcpay’s secure and regulated stablecoin payments,” says Susanna Yang, Founder of Yang Gallery. “At Yang Gallery, we believe in pushing the boundaries of art and commerce. By accepting stablecoins through dtcpay, we are not only modernizing our payment processes but also inviting a new generation of collectors to engage with art in a way that resonates with their lifestyle. The seamless integration has drastically improved the purchasing experience, allowing clients to acquire artworks quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend dtcpay to any art establishment looking to enhance their payment options and meet the demands of today’s collectors.”

About BNB Chain

From small businesses to large enterprises, the integration of BNB Chain into dtcpay’s payment ecosystem gives companies the flexibility to choose the blockchain network that best fits their needs.

Press Release

Singapore, 22 January 2025 — dtcpay has teamed up with BNB Chain, the community-driven blockchain ecosystem that includes the world’s largest smart contract blockchain by daily transactions to accelerate the real-world utility of stablecoins. This collaboration marks an important step in making Web3 payments more accessible, cost-effective, and seamless for both businesses and consumers.

Through this integration, dtcpay will enable businesses and merchants to accept payments via the BNB Chain network, opening up new opportunities for users to pay with stablecoins like USDT and USDC on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and opBNB. Additionally, dtcpay is focused on reducing transaction costs by providing lower gas fees for users compared to other blockchain networks. By integrating BNB Chain as a payment network on dtcpay’s payment platform, the collaboration will increase the feasibility of businesses and merchants accepting stablecoin payments in the real world, helping bridge the gap between traditional finance and Web3 technologies.

dtcpay Enabling Real-World Payments on the BNB Chain

The collaboration between dtcpay and BNB Chain marks a game-changing development for both the blockchain and payments industries. BNB Chain has become one of the most widely adopted blockchain networks due to its scalability, speed, and low transaction fees, making it a perfect fit for businesses looking to integrate stablecoin payments without the hurdles of high gas fees or slow transaction times. By including BNB Chain as a payment network, dtcpay provides merchants and customers with a more efficient and cost-effective way to process stablecoin payments, opening up a new world of possibilities for businesses to access a broader, global customer base.

BNB Chain will be able to tap into dtcpay’s merchant ecosystem which includes a wide range of retailers, such as Capella Hotel Group, and over 35,000 locations in Singapore via the NETS SGQR+ unified QR code system.

“With dtcpay’s payment solutions, businesses can now seamlessly send and accept payments in stablecoins like USDT and USDC not only on Ethereum, Tron or Polygon, but on BNB Chain, allowing for easy off-ramping and conversion of stablecoins to fiat currencies. By integrating BNB Chain in our payment solutions, dtcpay empowers businesses to accept stablecoin payments without the complications that traditionally come with dealing in digital assets.” — Andy Sze Toh, Head of Payments, dtcpay

Sarah S, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain, said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with dtcpay to simplify and expand the use of stablecoins, integrating crypto into daily life and advancing BNB Chain’s goal of driving widespread Web3 adoption.”

Lower Gas Fees for Businesses and Users

One of the primary benefits of the BNB Chain integration is the significant reduction in gas fees. Gas fees, which are required to process transactions on most blockchain networks, can often be a barrier to the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies in everyday business operations. However, BNB Chain is known for its low transaction fees (typically averaging $0.001 on opBNB and $0.03 on BSC per transaction), which makes it an appealing option for both users and businesses looking to engage in efficient stablecoin payments without incurring prohibitive cost.

For businesses, this means more accessible payment options that don’t eat into margins with expensive network fees. For consumers, it translates into a smoother experience when making purchases with stablecoins, especially for smaller transactions, where high gas fees on other blockchains might have otherwise been a deterrent. By reducing these fees, dtcpay makes it easier for businesses to adopt stablecoins as a form of payment without the complexities or financial burden that can arise from other networks.

dtcpay’s Broader Payment Ecosystem

As a pioneering provider of blockchain payment solutions, dtcpay has long supported various popular blockchain networks like Ethereum, Tron, and Polygon. By enabling payments in stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, FDUSD, and WUSD, dtcpay offers businesses more flexibility and consumers a seamless experience. Adding BNB Chain further expands our diverse payments infrastructure, reinforcing our mission to bridge traditional finance with Web3 technology.

dtcpay’s commitment to making stablecoin payments more accessible is evident in our core solutions, comprising:

Payments: dtcpay enables businesses to accept payments in stablecoins, offering a seamless experience for both merchants and customers. By adding BNB Chain into this offering, merchants will be able to accept payments from over 4.7 million daily active users (DAU) on opBNB, and 1.12 million DAU on BSC, expanding their payment options and reaching a broader market.
Wallet: The dtcpay Wallet app allows users to store and transfer stablecoins and fiat currencies, and securely withdraw funds. With this wallet, users have full control over their payments and funds. Now, with the addition of BNB Chain, dtcpay makes it even easier for users to manage their stablecoins across multiple blockchain networks.
Card: The dtcpay Visa Infinite card (slated for release at the end of January 2025) supports multi-currency spending, enabling users to swap and spend both stablecoins and fiat currencies seamlessly. Users can load their wallets with stablecoins, and spend in fiat directly through the card. This card is designed to be a bridge between the digital and traditional financial systems, offering an easy, efficient way to use stablecoins for everyday purchases.

Together, these solutions provide a comprehensive and global infrastructure for accepting and spending stablecoins across various platforms.

A Vision for the Future of Payments

The collaboration between dtcpay and BNB Chain aligns with the broader vision of both companies to foster greater adoption of blockchain technology and stablecoins in real-world applications. dtcpay aims to break down the barriers between traditional financial services and Web3 finance, making it easier for businesses to integrate stablecoin payments into their operations.

The Future of Payments is Stable: dtcpay is Now a Pure Stablecoins Digital Payment Token (DPT) Service Provider!

Major Announcement: dtcpay Will Support Stablecoin & Fiat Payments Starting January 2025

As we wrap up 2024, dtcpay is excited to announce that, starting January 2025, we will transition to only support stablecoins for all our Digital Payment Token (DPT) payment services. This means we will phase out support for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) by the end of this year, all other stablecoin & fiat currency services will continue to remain available.

dtcpay’s Strategic Decision to Shift to Stablecoins: Why Now?

This transition to a pure stablecoins model reflects our commitment to offering a secure, predictable, and regulatory-compliant payment solution. While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have played an important role in the digital finance ecosystem, their volatility creates challenges for businesses and consumers who need stability and reliability in their transactions.

By January 2025, in addition to USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin) dtcpay plans to progressively support the following stablecoins, ensuring users can transact globally with a trusted and stable medium:

FDUSD (First Digital USD)
WUSD (Worldwide USD)

These stablecoins are pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, offering the stability and security businesses and consumers demand.

Why Stablecoins?

Stability: Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, most stablecoins are less volatile and speculative in nature because they are commonly pegged to fiat currencies. This means businesses and consumers can transact with certainty and predictability, without worrying about drastic price fluctuations.

Security and Compliance: Stablecoins offer a higher level of trust and security compared to other digital assets. They are typically backed by reserves, ensuring value retention and reducing the risks associated with more volatile assets.

Scalability: By focusing on stablecoins, dtcpay can offer solutions that are globally scalable, ensuring seamless payments across borders without the high fees and delays often associated with traditional cross-border payments.

Leading the Way in Payment Innovation

This transition to a stablecoin model is a direct response to user demand, where a significant percentage of payments were made in stablecoins, as reflected in our recent one year’s transaction data. Payments in Singapore using stablecoins reached a record high of almost US$1 billion in the second quarter of 2024, led by transactions at merchant outlets, according to a report from Chainalysis (reported by Bloomberg). The surge in stablecoin adoption highlights the growing preference for stability and reliability in digital payments—factors that are driving dtcpay’s strategic decision to focus exclusively on stablecoins. By embracing this shift, we aim to meet the increasing demand for secure, predictable, and compliant payment solutions in an evolving digital finance ecosystem.

Some of our notable achievements include:

The only Asia-based company selected for the Mastercard Start Path program.
First regulated POS in Singapore to accept cryptocurrencies.
2022 SFF Global FinTech Award by Singapore FinTech Association (SFA).
2023 Best Cryptocurrency Payment Company by APAC Insider.
2023 Top Singaporean FinTech Seed Deal.
Ranked 6th globally on Hoptrail’s Global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Leaderboard and No.1 Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Singapore (Aug 2024).
2024 Best Multi-Currency Swap Platform by PAN Finance
2024 PayTech of the Year and Disruptor of the Year at the Asia FinTech Awards.

Additionally, we are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Singapore’s NETS SGQR+ initiative, enabling seamless stablecoin-to-fiat transactions through a unified QR code across the island. We’re also proud to be the first Major Payment Institution (MPI) in Singapore to join the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT), underscoring our global ambitions.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Payments is Stable

By transitioning to focus dtcpay’s Digital Payment Token (DPT) services purely on stablecoins, dtcpay is setting the stage for the future of global, digital payments. This move is designed to provide our customers with a more reliable, scalable, and secure payment experience—making digital finance predictable and stable.

As we enter 2025 with this clean slate, we remain committed to our mission of delivering Tomorrow’s Payments, Today. The future of payments is stable, and we’re proud to lead this evolution.

About dtcpay

November was a busy month for dtcpay as we made significant strides in our mission to redefine the future of payments. From showcasing groundbreaking innovations to securing new partnerships, our focus has remained clear: to provide seamless and sustainable payment solutions for individuals and businesses worldwide.

Here’s a look at the exciting developments and milestones from November:

1. Spotlight at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2024

This year’s Singapore FinTech Festival was an exciting event for dtcpay, where we had the opportunity to showcase some of our latest innovations in the world of digital payments. As a major player in the emerging Web3 payments space, we were thrilled to introduce our new Visa Infinite Card, which allows users to seamlessly convert stablecoins into traditional fiat currencies for spending at 150 million Visa acceptance locations worldwide. This card is a game-changer, enabling users to spend their digital assets across the globe with the convenience and flexibility of a traditional payment network.

Additionally, we highlighted the ease and convenience of our PayByLink solution, offering businesses another avenue to accept stablecoin payments via secure payment links. At the festival, we added a little extra fun to the mix with a PayByLink Lucky Draw, giving attendees a chance to experience firsthand the benefits of paying with stablecoins.

2. Partnership with NETS: A New Era for SGQR+

In another major announcement during the Singapore FinTech Festival, we were excited to reveal our new partnership with NETS, one of Singapore’s leading payment service providers. Through this collaboration, dtcpay has joined the SGQR+ initiative, a unified QR code system that enables consumers to make instant payments using their digital assets at 24,000 acceptance points across Singapore.

With this new integration, users can now seamlessly convert their stablecoins such as USDT or USDC, into fiat currencies, and make purchases at retail locations, cafes, and other establishments across the island. It’s another important step in our ongoing effort to bring digital asset payment solutions to the mainstream, making stablecoin usage as simple and accessible as using traditional fiat currencies.

3. Expanding Beyond Borders: Joining The LHoFT

Another exciting moment for dtcpay in November was becoming the first Major Payment Institution (MPI) in Singapore to join the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT) as a Fellow Member. This is a huge achievement for our team and marks a significant milestone in our expansion into the European fintech ecosystem.

The admission ceremony was held at the Singapore FinTech Festival, and was attended by key figures in the financial and fintech sectors, including Nasir Zubairi, CEO of LHoFT, and Luxembourg’s Minister of Finance, H.E. Gilles Roth.

This new membership strengthens our commitment to being a leader in the global digital payment space. By collaborating with other innovators and thought leaders in LHoFT’s expansive network, we’re looking forward to furthering the digitalization of financial services. As the world of payments continues to evolve, this partnership will provide new opportunities for cross-border collaborations and technological advancements that will shape the future of finance.

In addition to our exciting partnerships and innovations, we’re also proud to share that dtcpay has officially opened its Kuala Lumpur office as part of our global expansion strategy. This new office is a significant step forward in our mission to provide round-the-clock customer support and faster response times to serve you even better.

As part of our expansion, we continue to build our presence and acquire the relevant licenses not only in Singapore and Hong Kong, but across key markets such as USA, UK, Luxembourg, and UAE. This global footprint is essential for us as we continue to pioneer new digital payment solutions for businesses and consumers alike.

5. Defining Tomorrow’s Payments, Today

At dtcpay, we are driven by our vision to make global transactions seamless and sustainable. As a regulated Major Payment Institution (MPI) licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), we are at the forefront of integrating stablecoin acceptance into traditional financial systems. Our innovative solutions — spanning payments, wallets, and cards — are designed to make it easier for businesses and individuals to interact with both stablecoins and fiat currencies.

The dtcpay and Visa partnership seeks to bridge the gap between traditional payments and digital currencies, enabling merchants to accept payments from this growing segment of UHNW customers.

Through Visa’s global reach, the partnership also aims to broaden the use case of digital currencies in everyday payment settings, expanding payment options for customers globally.

“Our mission at dtcpay is to bridge the gap between digital payments and traditional finance through the enabling of emerging digital currencies to be used and accepted by mainstream financial systems.

WeChat is one of the largest social media platforms in the world with 1.2 billion monthly active users, and its pay function (WeChat Pay) allows its users to seamlessly make payments in their local currency for their purchases. WeChat Pay handles over one billion transactions globally daily, demonstrating the regular spending habits of its users.

On dtcpay wallet platform, merchants can view, track and manage their WeChat Pay transactions, download settlement reports, as well as issue refunds to deliver a seamless customer experience.

We have received inquiries from our merchants to integrate WeChat Pay onto the POS+ device. Since China has lifted its COVID-19 travel restrictions, there has been a surge in Chinese tourists coming to Singapore. By offering this WeChat Pay solution, we hope to help our merchants boost their sales.

Today’s announcement is a major milestone in dtcpay and WeChat Pay’s partnership and adding a payment acceptance solution to the dtcpay product portfolio is an important next step to enhancing our all-in-one digital payment solutions.

Introduction

Singapore, 13 April 2023, Digital Treasures Center refreshed its branding strategy whereby, it will be known as “dtcpay” going forward reflecting its commitment towards digital payments.

Introduction

Since 2019, dtcpay’s mission is to bridge the gap between digital assets and traditional finance and help businesses grow quickly by accepting payment methods that customers prefer, across both fiat and digital currencies. This rebranding aims to unveil an expansion roadmap as dtcpay recently appointed Group CEO Kanny Lee, a thought leader in the Web3 community.

“Our fresh look and feel are inspired by the businesses that trust dtcpay today. From orange to blue, purple and vibrant pink, the new palette captures the excitement of a world waiting to be explored. We’ve also rediscovered our tone of voice, where we speak to our business partners to help them accelerate digital adoption,” said Kanny Lee, Group CEO of dtcpay.

“In Asia, particularly the key tier 1 financial capitals such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo, have experienced a rapid rate of digital adoption primarily due to transparent regulatory frameworks for digital financial inclusion,” said Kanny. He added, “We are expanding business operations into Hong Kong, capitalizing on the region’s growing acceptance of digital payments and its key focal point as an entryway into the world’s largest consumer market. Our aim is to solidify our position in the APAC region by obtaining a license in Hong Kong, following our recent success in securing the MPI license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). This achievement is a testament to Asia providing the most regulatory clarity for digital payments around the world.”

As a regulated and fully licensed payments service provider by MAS, dtcpay’s expansion roadmap includes launching more fiat and digital currency pairings for the multi-currency swap product. This is the backbone that enables merchants and their customers to conduct value transfers seamlessly and cost-effectively. Each of these merchants utilizes dtcpay

POS+, as an all-in-one device that accepts various forms of digital payments: credit cards, QR code payments, digital currencies, etc. By streamlining the payment process for merchants, it saves time and effort when confronted with an avalanche of payment methods and channels favored by consumers and we have processed over S$50 million in transactions within the first quarter of 2023.

In an further effort to make settlement even more efficient for its merchants, dtcpay has launched an e-money pilot program called eSGD. The program aims to offer a secure and convenient payment option for merchants and their customers, resulting in a simpler and smoother payment experience. As the demand for cashless transactions continues to rise, e-money is becoming an essential part of the payment landscape. dtcpay aims to help merchants grow their businesses by providing efficient and reliable digital payment solutions.

As of April 2, 2023 dtcpay has integrated with WeChat Pay for its merchants to offer more convenient settlement for Chinese nationals. This partnership comes as demand for WeChat Pay is increasing in Singapore, especially after China opened its border and made it easier for Chinese tourists and Chinese nationals living in Singapore to enjoy the convenience of this payment option.

As dtcpay secured a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), dtcpay welcomes a new chapter in the rapidly evolving payment landscape and rebranded to be a more innovative and inclusive brand in the digital payment ecosystem and maintains the leading edge in technology and ensures that dtcpay operates within a regulated environment by offering secure, and legally compliant solutions for the digital payment industry.
