PlasmaPay, a global payment and remittance platform for decentralized finance (DeFi), announced on Monday it has formed a partnership with Kava, a decentralized bank for digital assets providing users with stablecoins, loans, and interest-earning opportunities. According to PlasmaPay, the collaboration will see the full integration of the Kava Protocol into PlasmaPay, allowing PlasmaPay users to purchase KAVA tokens and store them on the PlasmaPay wallet.
“Initially, this partnership will allow PlasmaPay users to purchase KAVA tokens, including HARD and USDX, at the PlasmaPay checkout. HARD is a governance token that was recently listed on Binance and BitMax for the first time. USDX is a stablecoin popular among users seeking to earn interest on their digital assets. The long-term collaboration will focus on full integration of Kava’s services, including the Kava wallet, into PlasmaPay’s decentralized financial infrastructure.”
