Shoppers may soon find themselves paying for coffee, jewelry, or boutique finds with crypto. Maya has teamed up with Lydian, a global digital asset payments infrastructure provider, to make stablecoin and crypto payments as simple as scanning a QR code.
The collaboration allows merchants using Maya Business to accept digital assets while receiving same-day settlement in Philippine pesos, eliminating volatility risks. Consumers will gain access to a “Pay with Crypto” option across QR codes, payment links, and online checkout systems.
Maya executives emphasized that the initiative addresses long-standing barriers to adoption, including custody requirements and regulatory compliance. The platform will provide wallet screening, Travel Rule adherence, and reporting aligned with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas standards.
Lydian, backed by Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald, provides infrastructure that enables merchants worldwide to accept digital assets with local currency settlement. The partnership positions the Philippines as a key market for bridging digital assets with regulated commerce.
