Global payment infrastructure provider Mercuryo has announced the integration of its on-ramp solutions into Meteor Wallet.
The wallet supports multiple blockchains, digital tokens and decentralized finance (defi) applications.
This feature allows users to purchase cryptocurrencies using credit cards, debit cards or Apple Pay. It facilitates access to the NEAR protocol, a layer-one blockchain that functions as a community-managed cloud computing platform.
Meteor Wallet is an interface for managing digital tokens and accessing defi services and decentralized applications (dApps) on the NEAR blockchain.
Good news for the NEAR family!

“We are excited to launch fiat-to-crypto on-ramps on Meteor Wallet. Once again, a leading non-custodial wallet in digital tokens has chosen Mercuryo’s on-ramp solutions,” said Aviessa Khoo, Executive Director at Mercuryo Singapore, on the integration.
Meteor aims to be the primary wallet for the NEAR blockchain and is available as both a web wallet and a browser extension.
Crypto.news reported that NEAR Protocol’s token rose 54% in late December, contributing to a year-over-year gain of 175%, with a value of $3.55. The growth is attributed to increased activity in the chain and continued interest, despite a retreat from venture capitalists.
