The linkup between the stakeholders is seen as a bridge between traditional and modern banking according to Dr Jorg Wilhelm, head of the supervisory board of TokenPay Swiss AG and said, “We are elated to be in the process of acquiring a large stake in a successful business bank based in Germany such as WEG.
“Our ecosystem consisting of the TPAY blockchain, WEG Bank, TokenSuisse and Litecoin Foundation provides us with a tremendous opportunity regarding merchant solutions, along with a strong and diverse customer base for our crypto debit card business.”
TokenPay acquired not only 9.9% of WEG but also options to purchase approximately 90% overall of the bank pending the customary regulatory approval. TokenPay says it “conservatively anticipates adding several hundred thousand customers to its debit card solutions platform in the near term.”
Charlie Lee, Managing Director of the Litecoin Foundation, stated, “This partnership is a huge win-win for both Litecoin and TokenPay. I’m looking forward to integrating Litecoin with the WEG Bank AG and all the various services it has to offer, to make it simple for anyone to buy and use Litecoin. I’m also excited about Litecoin’s support in TokenPay’s eFin decentralized exchange.”
On crypto exchanges, litecoin tokens overturned early losses following the news to stand out as a winner on a down day for most of its rivals, climbing 2.8% to $78.40.
