Grab Enables Crypto Top-Ups for GrabPay in Philippines
Grab users in the Philippines can now top up GrabPay wallets with BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT.
- Grab expands crypto top-up feature to the Philippines
- Users can load GrabPay wallets using BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT
- Follows successful rollout of the feature in Singapore
Grab, Southeast Asia’s leading ride-hailing and digital wallet app, has introduced a new feature allowing users in the Philippines to top up their GrabPay wallets with cryptocurrencies. This move comes after the successful 2024 launch of the same feature in Singapore.
Philippines Joins Grab’s Crypto Push
With over 112 million people and a rapidly growing digital economy, the Philippines is a natural fit for Grab’s crypto top-up expansion. Now, GrabPay users can load their wallets with popular cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), and Tether (USDT).
The new feature provides users with an alternative way to fund their wallets—particularly useful for crypto holders looking for seamless integration between digital assets and everyday spending. This could significantly improve financial accessibility and convenience in a region where many are unbanked but digitally active.
A Step Towards Broader Crypto Adoption
Grab’s move reflects a broader trend of integrating crypto with mainstream financial services in Southeast Asia. With a large portion of its population active in Web3 and digital finance, the Philippines is emerging as a key market in the region.
The rollout also aligns with the country’s progressive stance toward crypto regulation and adoption. According to reports, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has been supportive of regulated crypto activities that enhance financial inclusion.
Grab’s crypto top-up feature may further accelerate digital wallet usage and set a precedent for similar platforms in the region to follow suit.
