Banxa, the world’s first listed cryptocurrency payment gateway provider, today announced its integration with Metis, an organization committed to building a robust and decentralized layer 2 infrastructure to empower the web3 economy. Banxa’s fiat-to-crypto on-and-off ramp will enable Metis’ user base to benefit from Banxa’s enhanced payment methods and banking options capabilities.

“We’re excited to announce this integration with Metis, and provide our seamless on/off ramp infrastructure to support the growing user demands”

According to a survey from The Ascent, more than 46.5 million Americans plan to purchase cryptocurrency within the next year. Globally, studies show that roughly 1 billion people owned or transacted with cryptocurrency in 2022, indicating the continued interest and adoption of digital assets. Although awareness of the digital economy is growing, there remains a massive gap in the understanding and usability of cryptocurrency that inhibits further potential growth. Currently, 24% of Americans claim to not understand cryptocurrency or digital wallets, with another 17% of Americans commenting that they chose not to invest in digital assets because they are unsure of how they can be used.
