Two blockchain heavyweights just joined forces to bulldoze Asia’s archaic payment infrastructure. DePIN Union—the decentralized physical network collective—is teaming up with Terminus Group to embed crypto payments into everything from toll booths to vending machines.

Why it matters: While traditional banks still process transactions at dial-up speeds, this partnership cuts settlement times to seconds. Merchants get instant liquidity, consumers bypass currency conversion scams, and regulators get a headache trying to categorize it.

The cynical take: Another ’crypto revolution’ that’ll either collapse spectacularly or make early investors rich while leaving compliance officers drafting resignation letters.

The partnership aims to revolutionize Asia with secure, seamless, and at-scale crypto payments. This groundbreaking alliance further strives to redefine digital assets and users’ daily life interaction with them across the APAC region.
