HANGZHOU, China - Webus International Limited (NASDAQ:WETO), a $44 million market cap provider of AI-driven mobility solutions, announced Friday that its Wetour mobile web platform has integrated XRP token and Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin payment support. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown significant volatility, gaining 17% in the past week despite a 45% decline over the last six months.
The new payment options allow travelers to purchase product vouchers and promotional coupons using these cryptocurrencies, with transactions automatically linked to users’ account benefits and activity profiles.
"Bringing XRP token and RLUSD to Wetour’s mobile web streamlines checkout and immediately credits vouchers or coupons to the traveler’s account," said Nan Zheng, Chief Executive Officer of Webus, according to the company’s press release.
The cryptocurrency payment feature is currently available in eligible jurisdictions and will expand in phases. Usage is subject to local laws, KYC/AML requirements, and Wetour voucher and coupon terms.
Webus noted that digital assets, including XRP token and Ripple USD stablecoin, can be volatile, and users should evaluate risks and local regulations before transacting.
