PANews reported on December 25th that Trip.com, the overseas version of Ctrip, has launched stablecoin payment functionality for global users. Currently, it supports USDT and USDC, two USD stablecoins, and payments can be completed through multiple public blockchains such as Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, and Solana. Users in Vietnam can save approximately 18% and 2.35% respectively when using USDT to pay for flight and hotel bookings.

The crypto payment service is powered by Singapore-based crypto payment provider Triple-A, which also partners with companies like Grab to promote crypto payments. Trip.com's stablecoin payment process is simplified; hotel bookings can be completed with just a name and email address, eliminating the need for detailed personal information.
