(Waanx), a licensed Digital Asset Exchange and Digital Asset Broker **regulated by Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Wipay Co., Ltd. (Wipay)**, a licensed electronic money (e-Money) service provider **regulated by the Bank of Thailand (BOT)**. The collaboration integrates digital asset conversion into Thai Baht with Thailand’s established payment infrastructure. The launch of WORPT also involves collaboration across multiple industries, including** Tether, the issuer of USDT, one of the world’s leading stablecoins, The Mall Group, one of Thailand’s leading retail operators, and Visa, a global digital payments network**. This cross-industry collaboration reflects the growing convergence of digital assets, retail commerce, and payment infrastructure, supporting the adoption of financial technology to enhance the spending experience of international tourists in Thailand. **Designed as an all-in-one application**, WORPT connects the entire process, from** depositing supported cryptocurrencies and converting them into Thai Baht to making payments for goods and services through Thai QR PromptPay**. Importantly, merchants receive payments in Thai Baht through the existing payment system rather than accepting cryptocurrencies directly. WORPT is also preparing to introduce Visa Prepaid Card services, including both physical and virtual cards, to support card-based transactions and online payments. Once available, users will be able **to access a shared Thai Baht balance for payments through both Thai QR PromptPay and Visa Prepaid Card, without the need to transfer or top up funds separately between payment channels.** WORPT currently supports USDT and USDC, two US dollar-pegged stablecoins that rank among the largest stablecoins globally by market capitalization. Their widespread adoption and established presence in the digital asset market highlight their growing relevance within the global digital economy. WORPT plans to expand the range of supported digital assets to accommodate the evolving needs of international travelers. **Mr. Pavin Jittiwongsamarn, Co-Founder of WORPT**, said: "The key objective behind WORPT is to enable international travelers to make practical use of the cryptocurrencies they already have while visiting Thailand. We have therefore focused on connecting the entire process, from converting digital assets into Thai Baht to making payments for goods and services, providing travelers with greater convenience and more payment options throughout their journey." WORPT application operates within the framework and requirements of the Tourist DigiPay Regulatory Sandbox, incorporating procedures and measures relating to identity verification, transaction monitoring and anti-money laundering in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. **Commenting on innovation and the future direction of cryptocurrencies**, **Mr. Janeboon Roonnaphaya, Co-Founder of WORPT**, added: "Historically, cryptocurrencies have largely been viewed as assets for holding and trading. What makes the current development particularly significant is their transition toward practical utility in everyday life. This represents another important step in digital asset innovation, bringing digital assets closer to the financial system and real-world economic activities." Building on the growing role of digital assets in everyday transactions, WORPT is preparing to host the official launch event in November 2026, featuring a panel discussion with executives from The Mall Group, one of Thailand’s leading shopping mall and department store operators and a key retail collaborator in connecting financial innovation with real-world consumer spending, as well as executives from Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin and a major participant in the global digital asset market. The panelists will join representatives from relevant authorities and organisations to exchange views on the future of digital asset payments. **WORPT is now available to international tourists and can be downloaded through leading app distribution platforms**. Users can convert supported cryptocurrencies into Thai Baht and make payments via Thai QR PromptPay. WORPT is also preparing to launch its physical Visa Prepaid Card service in mid-November 2026, followed by the virtual card service in early 2027.
