How Mercuryo Is Making Crypto Purchases Feel Familiar with Apple Pay
Buying crypto shouldn’t feel different from any other financial transaction you make. Yet for most people, it does. Here’s a story that plays out thousands of times a day: someone downloads a crypto wallet for the first time. The app itself looks great, the interface makes sense. Everything seems straightforward until they actually try to buy crypto. Suddenly, they’re redirected to an unfamiliar website. The flow asks for information they weren’t expecting, and the payment page looks nothing like what they just left. Multiple screens later, they’re not entirely sure if the transaction worked, and they definitely don’t know when their crypto will show up. The problem here isn’t that people don’t understand crypto but rather that buying crypto breaks every expectation set by modern financial apps. When you call an Uber, you pay inside the Uber app. When you order food, you pay inside the food app. When you buy something online, you expect to check out right there, not get bounced to some third-party page. Crypto platforms should work the same way. And now, with Mercuryo’s Apple Pay integration, they finally do.

The Case for a Human-Readable Web3
Earlier this year, researchers published a report on pattern responsible for substantial losses among crypto traders. They analyzed thousands of transactions across Ethereum and BSC and found that in 2024 alone, $83.8 million disappeared in 6,633 confirmed address-poisoning incidents. One case in the report stood out because of how ordinary it was. A wallet owner made a routine transfer, pulled an address from recent history, and approved the transaction. Only later did they realize it wasn’t their address but a look-alike planted by an attacker weeks earlier. The network accepted the transaction as valid, and there was no way to reverse it. Crypto still forces users to rely on bulky identifiers that offer no context or identity. Even cautious crypto investors fall back on habits that don’t match the level of risk involved.
Mastercard, Polygon and Mercuryo team up to simplify crypto transactions

Mercuryo, Stellar, and LOBSTR Launch 5% USDC Cashback Campaign
There’s a difference between holding crypto and using it. Most crypto owners keep their assets as long-term investments or inflation hedges, and very few use them for payments.

The new campaign offers 5% USDC cashback (up to $50) when users buy USDC via Mercuryo on the Stellar network through LOBSTR Wallet, encouraging everyday transactions.

How Embedded Wallets Are Powering the Next Wave of Adoption
A few years ago, a crypto wallet was simply a secure storage for digital assets. You’d copy-paste addresses, double-check transactions, and do what you had to do. Fast forward to 2025, and wallets are becoming the front door to everything crypto: DeFi, NFTs, token swaps, gaming.
