press release
PRESS RELEASE. Singapore, 12 January 2023: Fiat-crypto payment gateway Alchemy Pay and its co-founder and majority shareholder, Shawn Shi, have been officially recognised by Forbes with the Web3 Innovation Pioneer award on 11 January. The Singapore-based payment solutions provider has a major research and development hub across Asia that has pioneered new payment systems at the very edge of modern fintech – convenient payments that seamlessly enable the movement of funds between traditional fiat currency and cryptocurrency.

Alchemy Pay ended the year by integrating with Arbitrum, the world’s largest Ethereum scaling layer 2, going live with Apple Pay, and becoming an official service provider by Visa. Its success comes from its team’s significant working knowledge of legacy finance and blockchain technology. The ramp’s foundation is a network of payment processors, acquirers, exchanges, dApp devs and blockchains. This has been no small task; the team has a wealth of talent and expertise and managed to avoid any direct contagion from the recent fallout and scandals of the crypto…
