VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (“BIGG” or the “Company”) (CSE: BIGG; OTCQX: BBKCF; WKN: A2PS9W), a leading innovator in the digital assets space and owner of Netcoins, Blockchain Intelligence Group, and TerraZero is pleased to report that TerraZero has successfully implemented Stripe into their Intraverse technology ecosystem to facilitate ecommerce for merchants, artists, brands, and TerraZero.
TerraZero worked with PricewaterhouseCoopers to form a go-to-market strategy for payments, culminating in the selection of Stripe as the technology for payments. This gives artists, brands, creators and other merchants looking to monetize their crafts on Intraverse a secure way to sell, and an equally secure system for users across the platform to make purchases.
Stripe saw an increase of 25% in total payment volume in 2023, and crossed the $1 Trillion in total payment volume threshold, according to Stripe’s March 13, 2024 annual letter.
TerraZero has already used Stripe to conduct ecommerce sales for multiple activations, including their most recent activation with Napster and artist Ric Wilson, which featured a limited edition t-shirt for purchase. The Intraverse Stripe integration allows merchants on the platform to transact directly with customers, and sell both physical and virtual merchandise.
For TerraZero’s Intraverse and BIGG Digital Assets as a whole, the Stripe integration is a competitive differentiator for several reasons. According to Dan Reitzik, Interim CEO of BIGG Digital Assets, “As a company, we see a diverse future for Web3. As the technology continues to grow, we need an ecosystem that opens doors for users, artists, brands, and everyone. This means having payment rails for credit cards like VISA and Mastercard just like, and as much as, purchase moments using Bitcoin and Ethereum, which is where many opportunities are headed, especially within virtual engagement and social experiences. This is significant, because as Intraverse grows, so will the diversity of purchase opportunities, and every type of buyer needs to be welcomed in and introduced to those payment opportunities. When I saw our Napster event with Ric Wilson, and the fact that I could buy something unique to Ric’s Discoverse, that really stuck out to me. What artists can now ask themselves is, ‘What NFTs am I dropping for my fans to mint from a virtual experience in my Intraverse?’.”
