Maya’s unique all-in-one money app, which seamlessly brings together digital banking services, crypto, and an e-wallet for the customer, clearly addresses the pent-up demand for world-class financial services” said Pepe Torres, Chief Marketing Officer of Maya.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

DOGE was launched in 2013 as a joke to be an alternative to traditional cryptos like Bitcoin, DOGE is the misspelled version of “dog” and features “shiba Inu” meme.

It is designed to be abundant, where 10,000 new coins are mined every minute with no maximum supply.

For most of its existence, DOGE was generally considered to be a “memecoin” with a little value, but the market treats it as an ordinary asset with its value based on supply and demand.

At the time of writing, according to CoinGecko’s data, DOGE’s price is $0.086002 with a market cap of$11,389,318,544.

ApeCoin (APE)

ApeCoin, or APE, is an ERC-20 token that was released last March and is controlled and built on by the community, with a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens.

It is the governance and utility token of the APE ecosystem and is adopted by Yuga Labs, the creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) non-fungible token (NFT) collections, as the primary token for all new products and services of the company.

APE can also be used to pay for in-game assets in play-to-earn games like Benji Bananas by Animoca Brands.

About 620 million of the total supply will go to the ApeCoin Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) community, which are the ApeCoin holders, and to the BAYC and MAYC holders.

At the time of writing, APE token’s price is $6.70 with a market cap of $1,951,620,989, according to the data of CoinGecko.

Stellar (XLM)

Stellar is a decentralized protocol on open-source code to transfer digital currencies to fiat currencies.

XLM, or Lumens, is the Stellar blockchain’s cryptocurrency token that is often used to pay transaction fees on the blockchain.

It also acts as an intermediate currency that allows Stellar users to perform quick trades.

For instance, if you send US Dollars to a peer in the Philippines, Stellar’s built-in protocol will automatically convert your US Dollars to XLM, then from XLM, it will send the currency to your peer in Peso.

At the time of writing, according to CoinGecko’s data, XLM’s price is $0.147013 with a market cap of $3,664,027,679.
