Wala pa talaga crypto sa gcash hanggang sa ngayon, Pero hindi natin alam baka nag tagal magkakaroon din sila.
Base sa sinabi ng CEO nila recently, sa tingin ko mas pinapriotize nila ang pag offer ng services nila sa mga crypto exchanges, kaysa mag labas agad sila ng crypto features sa app nila:
having a digital banking license is not a “silver bullet or magic” to growth.
“It’s not like a signboard that you just turn on then expect everyone to come in.
~Snipped~
The GCash Chief also reiterated that the mobile e-wallet is already available as a mode of payment across several exchanges such as Binance, Philippine Digital Assets Exchange (PDAX), Paxfulmake, and more “to be added soon.”
Based on the following highlighted part, I have a strong feeling na ang ilalabas nilang crypto features, would have a "true" wallet functionality:
In terms of offering crypto inside our app, we’re making sure that the services we provide within the crypto space are the relevant ones and at a rate that is reasonable. We are working on it, and we’ll be able to offer what we think is what the consumers are really looking for,” she concluded.
Much better na din ang ginagawa ng Gcash na pina-prioritize nila ang pagpapaganda at pagprovide pa lalo ng services na ino-offer nila. No reason din para mainggit o mapressure sila sa pag-release ng Paymaya ng crypto sa kanila platform. Compared sa amount ng users ng gcash, much better na magfocus sila sa mga services na mas gagamitin ng karamihan which is yung mga non-crypto users.
Sa ngayon, sa dinami daming usecase ni Gcash sa iba't ibang crypto platforms katulad ng Binance, Coins.ph at iba pang crypto websites, hindi ni kailangan ipriotize ang implementation ng crypto sa kanila mismong platform.
I doubt din na i-include nila mismo sa kanilang application yung crypto features pero may malaking possibility na gumawa sila ng separate application para sa crypto. To avoid confusion na rin sa con-crypto and crypto users.
Yes I totally agree with you. Gcash is already a big name dito sa Pinas at maraming naring user nitong app. I agree na i prioritize nila na to improve ung services nila. Additional services i believe a good thing to do lalo na sa panahon naun na nadedevelop or na eembrace na ang crypto sa Pinas lalo na may pinirmahan si Pangulong Duterte na EO on adoption of digital payment system dito sa atin kaya lalong mag boboost ang users dito at unti unti narin gagamiting ng ibat ibang goverment or private agency at macro and micro businesses. I think its a good sign na din na mas lalong gaganda ung economy naten kaya sumasabay narin sa pag improve at adding additional services sa kanilang app ung mga ibat ibang crypto platform na kilala dito sa Pinas.
