Topper by Uphold to Expand Access to Apple Pay and Google Pay
The wallet, Xumm, has unveiled expanded access to Apple Pay and Google Pay through the integration of the payments on-ramp protocol Topper by Uphold. Topper now allows Xumm wallet users in over 150 countries to buy cryptocurrencies with their debit or credit cards, offering a more integrated and seamless crypto experience.
Topper by Uphold Designed for a Diverse Array of Currencies
The integration with Topper aims to support millions of users and cater to jurisdictions typically underserved by other providers, including most states in the United States and Canada.
Increasing Number of Xumm Users
Ahead of an upcoming token airdrop targeting XRP token holders by layer-2 smart contract platform Evernode, Xumm has seen a surge in the number of users. According to available data, Xumm had 17,330 unique active users on November 26, a figure that rose to 18,000 on November 27 and then experienced a 45% increase to 25,377 in less than a day.
Rise in Active Users Despite Security Concerns
Recent security concerns among the XRP community have not slowed down the influx of new users to the platform, particularly amidst rising skepticism about linking wallets to Xumm.
XRP Whale Activity
XRP whales have recently sparked a market frenzy with significant transactions on the cryptocurrency’s network, including a 25.5 million XRP transfer to Bitstamp and 85 million XRP moved between unidentified wallets.
Hot Take
The rise in Xumm users and the integration with Topper attest to the ever growing popularity and demand for seamless and diverse crypto access for users, despite concerns about privacy and security.
