Singaporean cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com recently launched an update to its decentralized finance (DeFi) wallet service enabling support for fiat-to-crypto purchases in more countries and three new tokens.

Crypto.com also announced Pay support in more locales, expanding the number of countries able to use the service to purchase crypto directly within the company’s DeFi wallet app to 108 in total.
