GCash has made exploring and managing digital assets more secure and accessible through GCrypto, powered by the Philippine Digital Asset Exchange (PDAX). The platform, found within GCash, allows Filipinos to set up a crypto account in as fast as 30 seconds, receive and transfer crypto holdings from other wallets and exchanges, trade digital assets on the market, and fund a portfolio with zero cash-in fees directly through their mobile phones.
To register, fully verified eligible GCash users aged 18 and above open the app, select GCrypto in the Invest tab, and complete the application process for instant approval. After registration, users can top up their trading wallet in real time from their GCash balance with no transfer fees.
GCrypto also supports send-and-receive functionality for moving digital assets to and from external crypto wallets and exchanges without selling or liquidating holdings. For example, transferring Bitcoin from another wallet to GCrypto involves tapping Bitcoin on the GCrypto dashboard and selecting Receive, copying the receiving address or displaying the QR code, then pasting the address into the external wallet, confirming the transaction details match, and sending. Once confirmed on-chain, the funds appear in the GCrypto wallet. By streamlining onboarding, supporting crypto transfers, and providing direct fiat-to-crypto conversion, GCrypto simplifies barriers traditionally associated with digital asset platforms, according to GCash.
