Crypto.com Taps Polkadot to Boost USDT and USDC Transfers in Global Expansion

Crypto.com is strengthening its global and blockchain presence with a new Polkadot integration and regional partnerships in Brazil and South Korea.

The exchange now supports stablecoin transfers via Polkadot’s Asset Hub, a Layer 1 chain designed to host and manage non-native tokens. The feature gives users direct access to USDT and USDC transfers without needing a DOT balance, marking another step in Polkadot’s ecosystem upgrade. Other supported assets include wrapped Ether, KSM, and tokens bridged through Snowbridge and the Polkadot–Kusama link.

This move comes shortly after Binance added support for the upgraded Polkadot network. Polkadot’s team reminded users to verify token authenticity, as anyone can issue assets with similar names.

Outside blockchain development, Crypto.com is accelerating its global reach. In Brazil, it partnered with SpiderTrader, becoming the platform’s first fully integrated broker. The collaboration allows local traders to access Crypto.com’s engine directly.

In South Korea, the company signed an MoU with Travel Wallet, which serves over eight million users. The two firms will launch a co-branded prepaid card supporting both crypto and fiat payments, while promoting Travel Wallet’s KRW-backed stablecoin to simplify cross-border transactions.

Crypto.com will also appear as an official partner at the APEC CEO Summit Korea 2025 in Gyeongju this October, an event focused on fintech, AI, and digital innovation.

By combining Polkadot’s interoperability with local fintech collaborations, Crypto.com is steadily positioning itself as a key connector between decentralized and traditional finance.
