What is PayString?
PayString is a payment identifier protocol developed by Ripple and provides a single ID for anyone needing to send or receive money.
You can register for your unique PayString, username$paystring.crypto.com, which will allow you and other senders to deposit funds into the Crypto.com App with ease.
Supported cryptocurrencies for PayString deposits:
BTC, XRP, ETH, CRO, and supported ERC-20 tokens.
You can also whitelist external PayString to withdraw funds from the Crypto.com App. Depending on the external PayString, most of the Crypto.com App-listed coins can be withdrawn to the whitelisted PayString.
Supported cryptocurrencies for PayString withdrawals:
BTC, XRP, ETH, CRO, and supported ERC-20 tokens.
When can I register for a PayString?
