In a March, Vechain CEO and founder Sunny Lu said in a press release that VET’s partnership with Alchemy Pay aims to enhance its utility as a means of payment and the rate of its adoption.
“The integration of VET into Alchemy Pay’s crypto payment system is important in further expanding the real-world use cases for VET as a form of payment.
He added:
“By enabling mainstream payment standards like Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal using Alchemy Pay, the mainstream adoption of VET will increase by making direct access possible, bypassing the complications of crypto exchanges that can be a barrier for many new users.”
In the end, whether or not these developments will have any impact on the asset’s price, as the crypto community believes, and how they will play out by the end of the month will depend a great deal on the rest of the market and if Bitcoin bulls can reclaim their footing.
