Integrating an airtime API for cryptocurrency exchange can solve some big issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s no secret: One of the largest drawbacks of using cryptocurrency is <\/span><b>illiquidity.&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The global lack of access to cheap exchanges means that cryptocurrency <\/span><b>cannot easily be converted into cash <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">without usually suffering a big loss in value.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to this drawback, cryptocurrency lacks intrinsic value which makes it a <\/span><b>much less fungible asset<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than traditional investments.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/airtime-api\/\"><b>airtime API<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> presents a surprising use case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The global prepaid marketplace underscores this potential: At any one time, there are approximately 5 billion prepaid mobile phone users around the world that are in need of constant airtime and data top-ups for their telecom services.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cryptocurrency can act as a unique payment channel, paying for billions of mobile users\u2019 data and airtime while providing top-up vendors with much sought-after liquidity.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airtime_APIs_for_cryptocurrency_exchanges_means_more_liquidity\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airtime APIs for cryptocurrency exchanges means more liquidity&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using an airtime API, apps can offer their customers a cheap (and potentially profitable) exchange for their cryptocurrency.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, airtime APIs enable crypto providers to offer a liquid exchange method to buy and sell airtime using cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s illustrates two use cases below:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accept_airtime_top-ups_with_cryptocurrency\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accept airtime top-ups with cryptocurrency<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airtime API enables crypto providers (and, thus, their customers) to accept worldwide mobile recharge and data bundle payments using cryptocurrency.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In effect, <\/span><b>the worldwide top-up marketplace becomes a highly liquid gateway for exchanging cryptocurrency<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for any ISO-4217 global currency. This ultimately mitigates one of the central shortcomings of using crypto.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purchasing_bulk_airtime_with_cryptocurrency\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purchasing bulk airtime with cryptocurrency<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A second way that an airtime API supports cryptocurrency is by allowing crypto providers to purchase bulk airtime.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a storage of bulk airtime, crypto providers thus become a marketplace for mobile top-ups, uniquely allowing mobile users an avenue to spend their cryptocurrency for prepaid phone services.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, this method of exchange can also be <\/span><b>incredibly profitable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Reloadly offers users of its airtime API discounted rates when bulk airtime is bought using cryptocurrency.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, when buying airtime top-ups in bulk with crypto, discounts and commissions provided by Reloadly can range anywhere from<\/span><b> 6% to 15% of profits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. (Not bad, right?)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cryptocurrency holders are thus provided a large incentive to use the top-up market via Reloadly\u2019s API to exchange their coins.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, with our GitHub app, Reloadly has made this easy for anyone learning <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/how-to-send-bulk-airtime\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to send bulk airtime<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even for those without any developer knowledge.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using our app and API, you can quickly set up a platform that will allow you to buy, sell and\/or facilitate airtime top-up purchases in just a few minutes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reloadly enables our API users to accept all of the most common cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and more.
