Mercuryo, a leading crypto payments company, has announced its integration with renowned cryptocurrency derivatives exchange BitMEX. 

The partnership will enable BitMEX users to make faster and more secure fiat-to-crypto purchases. It’s an integration that means 21 more fiat currencies can be used to purchase Bitcoin, Ether, and Tether (ERC-20) on BitMEX. The exchange’s new supported currencies include AED, ARS, QAR, THB, UAH, and ZAR.

BitMEX users can buy crypto via Mercuryo with a range of payment options, including Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The purchased crypto will be credited directly to the user’s wallet immediately after payment. 

Mercuryo is a rapidly growing crypto-powered company that provides global access to fast and inexpensive payment infrastructures for the likes of 1inch, Trezor, and Trust Wallet. Its latest partnership with BitMEX follows their series A round of funding with global Investors Target A, raising a total of $7.5M.

Founded in 2014, BitMEX is one of the world's leading cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges with a fully verified user base and the creator of the Perpetual Swap.
