So far, the country’s massive crypto trader community had to rely on local crypto exchanges, that too in a tax regime that is one of the harshest for crypto trading in the world. Not only does Metamask UPI support in India provide more efficient crypto transactions, it will make the experience faster and cheaper.
The crypto wallet’s support to UPI could go along way in advancing the web 3.0 infrastructure in the country, especially to newer entrants into the market. The UPI payments mode brought about a radical shift in the small payments category, pushing the country’s digital infrastructure by leaps and bounds in the last five years. For the India payments initiative, Metamask partnered with Onramp money, an instant transactions company.
Lorenzo Santos, a MetaMask executive, said the UPI integration was aimed at easing access to Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB networks for Indian users.
