We see a lot of news about stablecoin volume growing exponentially. But most of it is limited to trading and treasury management. How about real-world use cases like paying for your meals? This is why we built Cray, a stablecoin payment solution that lets merchants accept crypto from customers. And the best part? You don’t have to choose chains, tokens or networks like in other crypto payment solutions. Cray abstracts and handles all the blockchain complexity and friction. So the payment experience for both merchants and users is very simple and intuitive. You don’t need any crypto knowledge. How are we different? • Other payment providers only solve parts of crypto payment problems • Crypto payment systems for retail merchants are still underdeveloped globally • Focus on user experience, instant settlement and removing technical friction • Go-to-market strategy of onboarding merchants directly instead of going to intermediaries and layered ecosystems So if you’re a business interested in accepting stablecoin payments or an investor who believes in our vision of stablecoins powering the future of payments, we would love to chat!
