Announced Monday, fiat-to-crypto onramp infrastructure platform, Simplex, added VeChain to its list of supported crypto assets, enabling users to quickly purchase VET across its partner network. The partnership opens the crypto community to a global platform, allowing them to purchase VET using fiat payment options including credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, or via bank transfers through Simplex Banking. 

The latest crypto asset addition targets VeChain users, newcomers in the crypto field, and Simplex partners who wish to enable easy access to VET tokens for their users.
