Both envision a fruitful partnership as they share a mutual goal of bringing financial inclusion closer

Global peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency marketplace Paxful is highlighting the partnership with South Korea's leading cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb Global.

Following the recent announcement of a test distribution of digital won (CBDC) by the central bank, the country is on the way to becoming one of the major crypto nations.

"We are pleased to partner with Paxful to provide our users with a fast, secure, and more convenient fiat-to-crypto gateway. This collaboration marks another milestone in our global expansion," said Javier Sim, co-founder and Managing Director of Bithumb Global.

Paxful will provide a fiat channel for Bithumb customers, giving access to over 300 different payment methods for buying cryptocurrencies. Acting as a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp, Paxful hopes the alliance will increase adoption, scalability, and real-world use cases for the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.

"Paxful is proud to be joining hands with another industry leader whose goal is to remove the barriers for global transactions and bring financial inclusion to everyone. With growing global interest in digital currencies and blockchain technology, this partnership signals a move towards creating a truly global economy," says Ray Youssef, co-founder and CEO of Paxful.

To seal this exciting agreement, Paxful and Bithumb Global launched a 5,000 USDT giveaway; users who use the kiosk trading system will have the chance to win from a pool of 5,000 USDT for successful transactions in an event that will run till 31 October 2020.
