The reason behind PicPay’s trading service program can be traced to crypto’s real use cases which are provided by virtual assets that include security among many other benefits. PicPay stated,
Blockchain technology, which is behind coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, is already used in the real estate sector, the insurance industry and even the art market, through non-fungible tokens.
The company at the moment has more than 30 million active users who will have access to purchase, sell and store crypto on the application itself.
This new feature has come into existence with a help of a partnership with the major digital asset company Paxos. The exchange shall allow customers to use the Paxos-issued United States dollar backed stablecoin USDP.

The exchange has plans that by the end of this year, users shall be able to pay using digital assets through the exchange on the app itself and also complete the crypto transfers.
Along with these plans, PicPay also has plans of launching its own stablecoin. It needs to be backed by the Brazilian real with the help of one-to-one parity that will let the stablecoin be accessible as a payment method that accepts any digital assets here.
The exchange is aiming to do this so that consumers can directly deal in digital assets without needing to exchange the assets for fiat money first.
Similarly, PicPay’s system will need to liquidate the cryptocurrency asset for the merchants first before it accepts the digital assets. This is to safeguard the merchants from the high volatility and help them store stable assets.
Once the Brazilian real-pegged stablecoin will go live it will help with payments in the app or through a different wallet. This shall help the tourists most as the they will be allowed to purchase this token on any exchange with the help of PicPay enabled merchants.
