ZEBEDEE , a crypto gaming fintech, and MoonPay, an international crypto payments infrastructure supplier, have revealed the incorporation of MoonPay&39s services into the ZEBEDEE app for the purposes of Bitcoin (BTC) gaming. Thanks to the integration, gamers can now top up their BTC balance with debit or credit without exiting the application. Gaming and crypto, a match made in heaven? The worlds of cryptocurrency and gaming are rapidly combining as the two sectors prove to be a perfect match. This is not a new idea by any means, as Play-To-Earn (P2E) has been popular for quite a while and many projects in this space such as The Sandbox (SAND) utilize this concept even now. As such, with more than 3 billion gamers worldwide, introducing cryptocurrencies such as BTC into games is a viable and profitable approach to expand mainstream crypto acceptance while simultaneously offering players with a relatively simple, straightforward, and safe experience. MoonPay, according to ZEBEDEE CEO Simon Cowell , has therefore reportedly built an exceedingly effective, quick, and seamless solution for anybody to purchase or sell BTC. The skills they offer are a fantastic fit for what ZEBEDEE intends to do, he continued, which is mainly to create a frictionless experience for consumers to begin utilizing crypto for gaming without it seeming like a burden or having to deal with external platforms like crypto exchanges. A new partnership? The collaboration between the two firms is still in its early stages, with the initial launch allowing ZEBEDEE users in the United States to purchase Bitcoin using credit and debit cards as aforementioned. This shall eventually be expanded in the near future to include other nations and currencies, in addition to providing the option to trade BTC and receive cash directly into the users bank accounts. Moreover, although MoonPay offers similar services to a variety of companies, the collaboration with ZEBEDEE is unique in that it is all BTC on the Lightning Network, which is a second layer on top of the blockchain that allows for instantaneous and almost zero-fee transactions but has historically been difficult for various non-technical and novice users to effectively use. MoonPay currently operates in over 160 countries and is trusted by more than 450 prominent wallets, apps and websites. Ivan Soto-Wright , its Co-Founder and CEO, stated that the ZEBEDEE project is a fantastic example of how cryptocurrencies and gaming can come together to drastically expand access to Web 3.0. He went on to say that the solution being offered by ZEBEDEE is just the beginning, and that the team is looking forward to introducing easy and accessible BTC purchasing and selling functionalities to millions of players worldwide before long.
