In a statement, Simplex said the integration will enable users to buy and sell hbar with a credit or debit card using its global platform.
Hedera Hashgraph launched its network in September and has since processed over 200 million transactions worldwide, the companies said.
Hedera had a shaky start; the hbar token crashed a month following its launch, and the company had to withhold tokens from investors in an effort to stabilize price.
Hbar spiked earlier this year when Google announced it will be joining Hedera’s governing council, which includes other high-profile multinational firms including Boeing, Avery Dennison, IBM and Tata Communications.
Earlier this year, Binance integrated Simplex into its platform to expand the range of fiat currencies users can use to purchase crypto.
