Yang Gallery Enhances the Art-Buying Experience with dtcpay’s Regulated Stablecoin Payment Solution

Yang Gallery, a premier destination for contemporary fine art in Singapore, is embracing the future of art transactions by integrating stablecoin payments through dtcpay. Established in 2005, the gallery has built a reputation for showcasing original works from renowned global and regional artists. With this new initiative, Yang Gallery continues to innovate, offering a seamless and secure way for clients to purchase artwork using digital currencies directly from their mobile devices.

The Benefits of Stablecoins in Payments

Stablecoins are a type of digital currency designed to maintain a consistent value by being tied to traditional assets, like the US dollar. Unlike highly volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, stablecoins offer stability, making them ideal for transactions involving valuable assets like artwork. This enables both buyers and sellers to take advantage of the speed and efficiency of digital currencies, without worrying about the unpredictable price changes seen in other cryptocurrencies.

 

By adopting stablecoin payments, Yang Gallery caters to a new generation of tech-savvy collectors who appreciate the convenience and security of modern financial solutions. The integration of dtcpay simplifies the purchasing process for both collectors and the gallery. Clients can make purchases in stablecoins, while Yang Gallery receives payments in local currencies, ensuring a smooth transaction experience. This shift not only reduces transaction fees but also accelerates the purchasing process, enhancing customer satisfaction and streamlining the overall art-buying experience.

dtcpay: A Regulated and Trusted Payment Solution

dtcpay is a Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)-regulated Major Payment Institution (MPI), licensed to conduct Digital Payment Token (DPT) services. This regulatory status means that dtcpay operates under the strict oversight of the MAS, providing peace of mind to both Yang Gallery and its clients.

 

Stablecoins like USDC, USDT, WUSD, and the soon-to-be-supported FDUSD are all accepted through dtcpay’s Point-of-Sale (POS) system, ensuring smooth and efficient transactions.

Notable establishments such as Metro and Capella Hotel Group are already utilizing dtcpay’s POS systems to accept stablecoins, cementing its position as a trusted payment solution for businesses across diverse industries.

 

“This is an exciting moment for Yang Gallery as we adopt dtcpay’s secure and regulated stablecoin payments,” says Susanna Yang, Founder of Yang Gallery. “At Yang Gallery, we believe in pushing the boundaries of art and commerce. By accepting stablecoins through dtcpay, we are not only modernizing our payment processes but also inviting a new generation of collectors to engage with art in a way that resonates with their lifestyle. The seamless integration has drastically improved the purchasing experience, allowing clients to acquire artworks quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend dtcpay to any art establishment looking to enhance their payment options and meet the demands of today’s collectors.”

“With dtcpay’s payment solutions, businesses can now seamlessly send and accept payments in stablecoins like USDT and USDC not only on Ethereum, Tron or Polygon, but on BNB Chain, allowing for easy off-ramping and conversion of stablecoins to fiat currencies. By integrating BNB Chain in our payment solutions, dtcpay empowers businesses to accept stablecoin payments without the complications that traditionally come with dealing in digital assets.” — Andy Sze Toh, Head of Payments, dtcpay

 

Sarah S, Head of Business Development  at BNB Chain, said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with dtcpay to simplify and expand the use of stablecoins, integrating crypto into daily life and advancing BNB Chain’s goal of driving widespread Web3 adoption.”

Lower Gas Fees for Businesses and Users

One of the primary benefits of the BNB Chain integration is the significant reduction in gas fees. Gas fees, which are required to process transactions on most blockchain networks, can often be a barrier to the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies in everyday business operations. However, BNB Chain is known for its low transaction fees (typically averaging $0.001 on opBNB and $0.03 on BSC per transaction), which makes it an appealing option for both users and businesses looking to engage in efficient stablecoin payments without incurring prohibitive cost.

 

For businesses, this means more accessible payment options that don’t eat into margins with expensive network fees. For consumers, it translates into a smoother experience when making purchases with stablecoins, especially for smaller transactions, where high gas fees on other blockchains might have otherwise been a deterrent. By reducing these fees, dtcpay makes it easier for businesses to adopt stablecoins as a form of payment without the complexities or financial burden that can arise from other networks.

dtcpay’s Broader Payment Ecosystem

As a pioneering provider of blockchain payment solutions, dtcpay has long supported various popular blockchain networks like Ethereum, Tron, and Polygon. By enabling payments in stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, FDUSD, and WUSD, dtcpay offers businesses more flexibility and consumers a seamless experience. Adding BNB Chain further expands our diverse payments infrastructure, reinforcing our mission to bridge traditional finance with Web3 technology.

 

dtcpay’s commitment to making stablecoin payments more accessible is evident in our core solutions, comprising:

 

  • Payments: dtcpay enables businesses to accept payments in stablecoins, offering a seamless experience for both merchants and customers. By adding BNB Chain into this offering, merchants will be able to accept payments from over 4.7 million daily active users (DAU) on opBNB, and 1.12 million DAU on BSC, expanding their payment options and reaching a broader market.

  • Wallet: The dtcpay Wallet app allows users to store and transfer stablecoins and fiat currencies, and securely withdraw funds. With this wallet, users have full control over their payments and funds. Now, with the addition of BNB Chain, dtcpay makes it even easier for users to manage their stablecoins across multiple blockchain networks.

  • Card: The dtcpay Visa Infinite card (slated for release at the end of January 2025) supports multi-currency spending, enabling users to swap and spend both stablecoins and fiat currencies seamlessly. Users can load their wallets with stablecoins, and spend in fiat directly through the card. This card is designed to be a bridge between the digital and traditional financial systems, offering an easy, efficient way to use stablecoins for everyday purchases.

 

Together, these solutions provide a comprehensive and global infrastructure for accepting and spending stablecoins across various platforms.

A Vision for the Future of Payments

The collaboration between dtcpay and BNB Chain aligns with the broader vision of both companies to foster greater adoption of blockchain technology and stablecoins in real-world applications. dtcpay aims to break down the barriers between traditional financial services and Web3 finance, making it easier for businesses to integrate stablecoin payments into their operations. This collaboration with BNB Chain accelerates that mission by offering a faster, more affordable way for businesses and users to interact with blockchain technology.

 

The ability to pay via BNB Chain represents another step forward in expanding the real-world use cases for stablecoins. From small businesses to large enterprises, the integration of BNB Chain into dtcpay’s payment ecosystem gives companies the flexibility to choose the blockchain network that best fits their needs. Whether it’s reducing transaction costs or tapping into the global potential of blockchain technology, this collaboration offers a future-proof solution that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with stablecoin payments.

Conclusion

Beyond a technical upgrade, this integration represents a significant leap forward in the real-world utility of stablecoins. By embracing BNB Chain, dtcpay helps to further legitimize stablecoins as a mainstream payment method and supports businesses in adopting blockchain technologies with ease.

 

As global awareness and adoption of blockchain technologies continue to rise, this collaboration places dtcpay and BNB Chain at the forefront of enabling global payment connectivity, demonstrating that digital assets can be accessible, practical, and usable in everyday commerce.

Major Announcement: dtcpay Will Support Stablecoin & Fiat Payments Starting January 2025

As we wrap up 2024, dtcpay is excited to announce that, starting January 2025, we will transition to only support stablecoins for all our Digital Payment Token (DPT) payment services.

The Future of Payments is Stable: dtcpay is Now a Pure Stablecoins Digital Payment Token (DPT) Service Provider!

Major Announcement: dtcpay Will Support Stablecoin & Fiat Payments Starting January 2025

As we wrap up 2024, dtcpay is excited to announce that, starting January 2025, we will transition to only support stablecoins for all our Digital Payment Token (DPT) payment services. This means we will phase out support for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) by the end of this year, all other stablecoin & fiat currency services will continue to remain available.

dtcpay’s Strategic Decision to Shift to Stablecoins: Why Now?

This transition to a pure stablecoins model reflects our commitment to offering a secure, predictable, and regulatory-compliant payment solution. While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have played an important role in the digital finance ecosystem, their volatility creates challenges for businesses and consumers who need stability and reliability in their transactions.

 

By January 2025, in addition to USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin) dtcpay plans to progressively support the following stablecoins, ensuring users can transact globally with a trusted and stable medium:

 

  • FDUSD (First Digital USD)
  • WUSD (Worldwide USD)

 

These stablecoins are pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, offering the stability and security businesses and consumers demand.

Why Stablecoins?

  • Stability: Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, most stablecoins are less volatile and speculative in nature because they are commonly pegged to fiat currencies. This means businesses and consumers can transact with certainty and predictability, without worrying about drastic price fluctuations.

 

  • Security and Compliance: Stablecoins offer a higher level of trust and security compared to other digital assets. They are typically backed by reserves, ensuring value retention and reducing the risks associated with more volatile assets.

 

  • Scalability: By focusing on stablecoins, dtcpay can offer solutions that are globally scalable, ensuring seamless payments across borders without the high fees and delays often associated with traditional cross-border payments.

Leading the Way in Payment Innovation

This transition to a stablecoin model is a direct response to user demand, where a significant percentage of payments were made in stablecoins, as reflected in our recent one year’s transaction data. Payments in Singapore using stablecoins reached a record high of almost US$1 billion in the second quarter of 2024, led by transactions at merchant outlets, according to a report from Chainalysis (reported by Bloomberg). The surge in stablecoin adoption highlights the growing preference for stability and reliability in digital payments—factors that are driving dtcpay’s strategic decision to focus exclusively on stablecoins. By embracing this shift, we aim to meet the increasing demand for secure, predictable, and compliant payment solutions in an evolving digital finance ecosystem.

 

Some of our notable achievements include:

 

  • The only Asia-based company selected for the Mastercard Start Path program.
  • First regulated POS in Singapore to accept cryptocurrencies.
  • 2022 SFF Global FinTech Award by Singapore FinTech Association (SFA).
  • 2023 Best Cryptocurrency Payment Company by APAC Insider.
  • 2023 Top Singaporean FinTech Seed Deal.
  • Ranked 6th globally on Hoptrail’s Global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Leaderboard and No.1 Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Singapore (Aug 2024).
  • 2024 Best Multi-Currency Swap Platform by PAN Finance
  • 2024 PayTech of the Year and Disruptor of the Year at the Asia FinTech Awards.

 

Additionally, we are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Singapore’s NETS SGQR+ initiative, enabling seamless stablecoin-to-fiat transactions through a unified QR code across the island. We’re also proud to be the first Major Payment Institution (MPI) in Singapore to join the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT), underscoring our global ambitions.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Payments is Stable

By transitioning to focus dtcpay’s Digital Payment Token (DPT) services purely on stablecoins, dtcpay is setting the stage for the future of global, digital payments. This move is designed to provide our customers with a more reliable, scalable, and secure payment experience—making digital finance predictable and stable.

As we enter 2025 with this clean slate, we remain committed to our mission of delivering Tomorrow’s Payments, Today. The future of payments is stable, and we’re proud to lead this evolution.
