VIVOplay Partners with trade.io in Launching Latin America’s First Blockchain-Powered Native Platform
VIVOplay has joined hands with trade.io in revolutionizing Latin America’s goods and services industry — both online and offline, through the launch of the first Latin American blockchain-powered native platform, VIVOpago.
A leading Hispanic video streaming content provider in the region, VIVOplay has over 4 million active users since it’s launch. The VIVOpago platform and native token, PAGO was developed with a vision to enable customers to purchase a wide range of goods and services at ease in a safe and secure manner across a decentralized marketplace. This will be the first cryptocurrency in Latin America with real use in everyday lives.
Through this strategic partnership, trade.io, a new age financial institution based on blockchain technology, will be supporting VIVOplay with turnkey blockchain advisory solutions, investor outreach, marketing consultancy and exchange listing on its cryptocurrency exchange. The two partners have a common ambition towards solving the problem of low penetration of formal payment systems and to foster the digital economy growth in the Latin American community through blockchain technology.
Within VIVOpago’s native platform, customers will be able to purchase goods and services both online and offline instantly and reliably. This will include video streaming, internet data, phone data, transfer of funds, shipping and much more. Customers can choose to use the PAGO token or their preferred cryptocurrency for payments. There will also be reward programs in place for certain activities such as watching specific advertisements.
VIVOpago intends to promote a decentralized application (dApps) ecosystem that will use the PAGO as its primary means of payment. One of the dApps that will initially be integrated with VIVOpago is VIVOplay and its existing streaming service.
Users within the VIVOplay app will be able to buy premium content by using PAGO; the data saved on blockchain will also enable better algorithms to be developed, producing tailored content for audiences. In addition, advertisers will also have access to an open platform with accurate and honest measurement capabilities, which will help them avoid digital advertising fraud.
trade.io’s CEO Jim Preissler commented on the partnership, “We are thrilled to be taking part in the VIVOpago project backed by VIVOplay, a media company with experiences not only in the television arena, but across other industries in Latin America ranging from retail to real estate. We strongly believe that PAGO will make the lives of Latin Americans better, simpler and more efficient, solving some of the regional issues using blockchain technology.”
VIVOplay’s founder and CEO Carlos Hulett said, “The experience we have had in VIVOplay taught us that low penetration of formal payment systems such as credit cards and internet banking is a huge growth barrier for companies offering goods and services in Latin America. With the help from trade.io and Tokeny, I believe our crypto payment solution — the VIVOpago platform and PAGO tokens, will extensively benefit the Latin America community.”
Tokeny will also be joining VIVOplay’s blockchain initiative and will be providing technology solutions behind VIVOpago’s token issuance.
