"The Alchemy Hybrid Payment Solution is a game changer for the global cryptocurrency market as it propels cryptocurrencies towards truly becoming a global currency.

"We will continue to integrate new and popular cryptocurrencies such as Facebook's Libra to drive usage and liquidity for cryptocurrencies."

The Alchemy Hybrid Payment Solution, which brings together the synergies of blockchain technology and digital payments, has garnered strong interest from industry leaders and cryptocurrency communities alike. Alchemy is currently in discussions with various verticals in both the fiat and cryptocurrency space including crypto exchanges, OTC platforms, cryptocurrency issuers and other crypto wallets to further enhance the capabilities and payment options of Alchemy Hybrid Payment Solution.

"Our recent successful launch across Pricerite's retail chain stores was well received by the general public and crypto community alike. We are heartened by the growing demand for this solution and expect to rollout to more merchants in Hong Kong, Singapore and the rest of Asia in coming months."

Available for online and offline payments, the Alchemy Hybrid Payment Solution is set to make its online debut by partnering with leading online marketplace platform provider Arcadier who will have the hybrid payment option as part of its payment gateway offering to users of its platform.
