- Sellers on Novelship can now get paid instantly with digital currencies.
- Over USD 250,000 worth of sneakers were bought with digital currencies on the marketplace since March 2022.
27 June 2022, Singapore – Today, Novelship, Asia’s fastest-growing marketplace for limited-edition sneakers, streetwear, and collectibles, announced the launch of its Digital currencies payout feature. In partnership with Triple-A, a digital currencies payment gateway licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), sellers on Novelship can now opt to be paid with digital currencies.
Triple-A will help sellers on Novelship receive their payments instantly, compared to traditional methods that take 3 to 7 working days. The partnership will continue to bridge the gap between traditional and digital payments and provide a faster way for sellers to get paid.
Earlier this year in March, Novelship conducted a survey of our customers and found that sneakerheads were requesting payment to be made in digital currencies. Novelship quickly partnered with Triple-A to help customers easily and securely pay for their items with digital currencies. Since the addition of digital currencies as its payment mode, over USD 250,000 worth of sneakers have been bought in digital currencies. Also, Novelship has been able to serve more high-value customers, thus increasing the average order value per customer.
Richard Xia, CEO of Novelship said, “Digital currencies provide a unique opportunity for us to streamline our payments and provide a better experience for our users. The initial results of the pilot have been very promising, and we are thrilled to bring the payout feature to our sellers in the community. We are proud to be at the forefront of this change, and we will continue to innovate through partners like Triple-A and Binance to provide the best possible experience for our customers.”
With plans of launching an NFT in the near future, Novelship continues its efforts in Web3 and recently also announced an integration with Binance Pay. This integration with Binance allows its users to pay using any digital currencies directly from their Binance Wallet, without incurring any fees.
“Many marketplaces like Novelship wish to accept payments and pay their sellers in digital currencies but are not willing to take the volatility risk of holding digital currencies.” Eric Barbier, CEO and founder of Triple-A shares. “By partnering with Triple-A, businesses get to pay and get paid in digital currencies without holding digital currency assets or worrying about regulations and AML screenings.”
This news follows the recent announcement of Triple-A’s first funding round, led by Gaming Giant Razer’s corporate venture arm.
