The "super app" based on Bitcoin anticipates having various features, such as an e-wallet, stock and cryptocurrency trading, FX, and digital investment management. Kenanga will use mPaaS, a mobile development network created from the AliPay App through this collaboration. It is worth noting that Kenanga only recently started experimenting with cryptocurrency. The bank's most recent action would increase revenue for the business, given the demand for cryptocurrencies.
By combining several financial services, such as stock trading, digital investment management, cryptocurrency trading, digital wallets, foreign exchange, and others, onto a single platform, the SuperApp aims to transform wealth management in Malaysia. The app will supposedly debut in early 2023, according to Kenanga.
Many people are surprised by the most recent news, given China's position on cryptocurrency. Leading Chinese internet and technology companies signed a petition to outlaw cryptocurrencies and NFTs last month. In addition, they even pledged that they wouldn't set up secondary marketplaces. Tencent and Ant Group were on this list.
It appears that Ant Group was using cryptocurrency outside of China. Malaysia has recently been moving toward cryptocurrencies. The government urges legalizing cryptocurrencies and NFTs by several municipal administrations in the area. Despite this, the area's finance minister maintained his skepticism regarding cryptocurrency payments. The future of the "super app" is still in doubt due to China's tech giant's influence and Malaysia's unclear cryptocurrency legislation.
