What is a cryptocurrency? More than just a “blockchain-based digital currency”, any cryptocurrency today is representative of some idea. Audius, for example, is a decentralised platform where artists can release music without intermediaries like record labels. AUDIO is Audius’ cryptocurrency, or in other words, its native token.
Usually, every cryptocurrency project intends to resolve some problem. Alchemy Pay is a payments system participant that combines cryptos and fiat currencies. The project’s ACH token is creating a buzz currently, thanks to a rally in its token price. Let us explore more about Alchemy Pay services and the token.
What is Alchemy Pay?
It is a payments solution that combines fiat currency and cryptocurrency economies and facilitates payments through its gateway. The project is new, having begun operations in 2018, almost a decade after the launch of Bitcoin (BTC).
According to the official website, the payment gateway operates in over 70 countries, with its services used by more than two million merchant partners. It claims to have an expansive network, which includes e-commerce platforms, crypto exchanges, and even global remittance companies. The website mentions names like Shopify and ALDO as merchant network partners, and PayPal and Visa as payment channel partners.
Alchemy Pay also provides “crypto-linked” Mastercard and Visa cards. The native ACH token is used to pay the fees within the Alchemy Pay ecosystem. The ACH token is listed on exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Huobi.
ACH token price
The ACH token is one of the top 300 cryptos by market cap, as of writing. The market cap is over US$85 million, and the price per token is nearly US$0.018.
What is notable is the 24-hour trading volume of the Alchemy Pay crypto, which is up almost 800%. This surge has also translated into nearly 40% price appreciation over the past 24 hours. That said, the ACH token, which had a price of over US$0.06 on January 1 2022, is trading at a loss on a year-to-date (YTD) basis.
