Daniel Yang, Global Business Development Lead at TON Foundation, is excited by the opportunities this collaboration unlocks for newbies and crypto professionals:
The launch of this new on-ramp for TON’s ecosystem will build upon the wide range of existing options, enabling additional users to purchase Toncoin and discover the unique benefits of TON ecosystems' near instantaneous, borderless transactions. Ensuring that the onboarding process is seamless and that options are widely available is crucial to our commitment to accelerating the mass adoption of Web3 technology by non-native users.

It supports popular payment methods, including credit and debit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, Google Pay and, most recently, PIX, a popular digital payment method used by approximately 70% of the population in Brazil.
