    Singapore retail chain Metro to start accepting stablecoin payments

    Singaporean department store chain Metro will allow its customers to make stablecoin payments both in physical stores and online at Metro Mall.

    According to a local publication, the Metro department store in Singapore has teamed up with Singaporean crypto payments firm DTCPAY to enable stablecoin payments using assets like Tether’s USDT, Circle’s USDC, and Worldwide Stablecoin Payment Network’s WUSD. 

    Soon, they’ll also support payments using the First Digital Dollar Stablecoin (FDUSD).

    Metro’s COO, Erwin Wuysang-Oei, described the partnership as a step toward keeping up with the evolving retail landscape. He emphasized that by accepting stablecoin payments, Metro is “not only embracing the future but shaping it.”

    “This is a transformative moment for Metro, and we are excited to lead the industry in making digital assets a viable everyday reality for our customers,” Wuysang-Oei added.

    The latest partnership follows DTCPAY’s decision to switch exclusively to stablecoins for payments in 2025 after it decided to drop Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) back in January. At the time, the company said the decision would allow it to offer a “more reliable, scalable, and secure payment experience.”

    Meanwhile, Singaporeans have increasingly warmed up to crypto, making digital assets a bigger part of daily life and investments.

    As previously covered by crypto.news, Singaporean wealth managers have reported allocating larger portions of their portfolios to digital assets, especially since President Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. elections.

    At the time, Sygnum Bank CEO Gerald Goh said locals were “more positive about incorporating crypto investments as part of their investment portfolios.”

    Singapore has also pulled ahead of other jurisdictions, like Hong Kong, when it comes to crypto adoption. Throughout 2024, the Monetary Authority of Singapore granted 13 new crypto licenses, doubling numbers recorded the previous year.  In comparison, Hong Kong lagged behind due to an overly restrictive regulatory framework.
