Payments Could Give Crypto Super Apps a Daily Use Case, TOKEN2049 Experts Say

At TOKEN2049 Singapore, executives from MetaMask, Trezor, WalletConnect and other crypto firms joined four ChangeNOW-hosted panels on bringing crypto to mainstream users, with Rubic co-founder Aleksandra Korneva saying payments could give people a daily reason to use crypto apps. Korneva noted occasional exchangers have little reason to return daily, while Pulsar Money CEO Alex Radu named payments and trading as foundations for multi-service apps; CoinRoutes' Michelle Herman questioned whether bundling is better than specialized services. The panels also covered simplifying wallet transactions such as gas fees and blockchain transfers, with Trezor software product lead Denis warning that easier interfaces should not remove key transaction information and WalletConnect's Diana Alexandrova saying consumers should be able to pay without understanding blockchain technology.
