Tether has invested into QR mobile payments company SQRIL.
In its latest round of investments, Tether has chosen to support the team behind SQRIL - a growing mobile app across Asia - that facilitates easy QR code payments in local settings.
CEO Malcolm Weed expressed the significance behind this:
“Having worked in crossborder payments for the past thirteen years and spending the past three living in Southeast Asia, I can confidently say that scan-to-pay QR code payments will be universal the world over in the coming years. Usually you see developed world technologies making their way to emerging markets, but I really believe this will happen in the reverse.”
The increase in popularity for scan-to-pay commerce solutions (particularly for Android devices) have skyrocketed in regions like the Philippians, Indonesia, Thailand and others.
In 2025 alone, the QR code market grew to $18B and oversaw a $5.4T total spend. Equally, the improvement in mobile connectivity (4G in particular) and merchant incentives to reduce dependencies on payouts based on traditional checkout methods are also contributing factors.
