“The Alchemy Hybrid Payment
Solution is a game changer for the global cryptocurrency market as it propels
cryptocurrencies towards truly becoming a global currency. It creates real-life
use cases for cryptocurrencies as crypto holders can now spend their
cryptocurrencies to purchase goods and services in addition to their investment
functions,” stated Patrick Ngan, Co-Founder and CEO of Alchemy. “We will
continue to integrate new and popular cryptocurrencies such as Facebook’s Libra
to drive usage and liquidity for cryptocurrencies.”

The Alchemy Hybrid Payment
Solution, which brings together the synergies of blockchain technology and
digital payments, has garnered strong interest from industry leaders and
cryptocurrency communities alike. 
Alchemy is currently in discussions with various verticals in both the
fiat and cryptocurrency space including crypto exchanges, OTC platforms,
cryptocurrency issuers and other crypto wallets to further enhance the
capabilities and payment options of Alchemy Hybrid Payment Solution.

“The Alchemy Hybrid Payment
Solution provides businesses with an intuitive application and fiat settlement
option so they can accept cryptocurrencies just like a regular fiat mobile
payment method,” says Will Leung, Co-Founder and General Manager of QFPay Hong
Kong. “Our recent successful launch across Pricerite’s retail chain stores was
well received by the general public and crypto community alike. We are
heartened by the growing demand for this solution and expect to rollout to more
merchants in Hong Kong, Singapore and the rest of Asia in coming months.”

Available for online and offline payments, the Alchemy Hybrid Payment Solution is set to make its online
debut by partnering with leading online marketplace platform provider Arcadier
