This collaboration will see TRX integrated into Metal Pay's mobile application, enabling its 130,000 users to buy the token using crypto and fiat currency alike. They can also use their cash balance, debit cards, and transfer money from a linked bank account.

TRON is also joining Metal Pay's rewards feature, called Pop, which rewards the people who use and grow the platform with monetary incentives. As such, TRX holders using the Metal Pay app can earn cashback for every dollar sent or received, for up to five percent of the value of certain USD transactions. The rewards will be delivered in Metal's cryptocurrency MTL and can be converted into dollars, sent to another Metal Pay user, or held as an investment.

On top of all this, Metal Pay enables crypto-to-crypto conversions between more than 20 cryptocurrencies it supports, which gives TRX holder exposure to other crypto coins such as BTC, ETH, and MTL.

"TRON's addition to Metal Pay provides their community with a bold new DeFi platform. Home to a variety of developers, dApps, and more, the products that Metal is building will accelerate the growth of the cryptocurrency ecosystem," said Marshall Hayner, founder and CEO of Metal Pay.
