Press Release

Singapore, 25 July 2025 — dtcpay has announced its participation in the SGQR scheme, operated by NETS. This partnership is another important step in bridging Web3 payments of stablecoins and fiat currencies with traditional businesses.

 

Through this integration, users will be able to make SGQR payments on the dtcpay app by using the Scan & Pay feature at participating merchants. The collaboration will help to provide dtcpay users with unparalleled flexibility and convenience by letting them spend their stablecoins and fiat currencies effortlessly, in addition to further strengthening the local merchant Web3 payment ecosystem while enhancing the overall customer experience.

The collaboration will help to provide dtcpay users with unparalleled flexibility and convenience by letting them spend their stablecoins and fiat currencies effortlessly, in addition to further strengthening the local merchant Web3 payment ecosystem while enhancing the overall customer experience.

Why SGQR x dtcpay is a Game-changer

For Customers:

  • Pay using one unified SGQR code across multiple merchants.
  • Choose between stablecoins or fiat—flexibility at your fingertips.
  • Get real-time confirmation and transaction transparency.

 

For Merchants:

  • Simplify operations with one QR code to accept many payment types.
  • Tap into a growing base of stablecoin users.
  • Enjoy faster settlements.

What is SGQR?

SGQR is a single standardized QR code for e-payments and combines multiple payment schemes into a single SGQR label. Consumers just need to look out for the SGQR label to see which payment options the merchant accepts, while merchants only need to display one SGQR label instead of many labels. The successful implementation of SGQR has led to a wide adoption rate across Singapore, with over 40,000 NETS acceptance points from established franchises such as Arnold’s Fried Chicken to smaller local hawker stalls.

 

By integrating SGQR with the dtcpay app, customers can enjoy unique key benefits on the platform, such as the ability to easily pay by scanning one SGQR code and choosing their preferred payment method. Additionally, they can enjoy quick and secure payments through instant confirmation and real-time notifications. For businesses, this has the potential to enhance operation efficiency by streamlining their payment process through a single QR code, reducing complexity and eliminating the need to manage multiple systems.

A Seamless Payment Experience with SGQR and dtcpay

The collaboration between dtcpay and SGQR marks a game-changing development for the blockchain and payment industries. SGQR enhances local payment acceptance in Singapore through a unified QR code, while broader regional initiatives continue to pave the way for future interoperability with neighbouring countries. This growing connectivity will support dtcpay app users in enjoying more seamless payments across borders.

 

As a pioneering provider of blockchain payment solutions, our commitment is to further offer both businesses and consumers more flexibility by adding more ways to pay through our dtcpay app, as well as improving our core solutions:

 

  • Payments: Enabling businesses to accept payments with both fiat and stablecoins, offering a seamless experience for merchants and customers.
  • Wallets: Allowing users to store and transfer stablecoins and fiat currencies and securely withdraw funds.
  • Cards: The dtcpay Visa Infinite card (released at the end of January 2025) supports multi-currency spending, enabling users to swap and spend both stablecoins and fiat currencies seamlessly.

 

Together with SGQR, dtcpay’s suite of solutions continues to provide a seamless experience for spending stablecoins across the region.

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.

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.

“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.
