The safest investment portfolio is a diversified one. Balancing high-risk investments, such as cryptocurrency, with low-risk assets, such as gold, silver and other precious metals, helps mitigate volatility while preserving long-term value and ensuring more sustainable returns. ForumPay’s recent partnership with CB Mint allows crypto consumers and investors to diversify their investments in digital assets, and pivot funds seamlessly into precious metals.
By enabling crypto payments, CB Mint not only expands its customer base, opening the door to new streams of revenue, but also provides investors with a frictionless way to hedge digital wealth against traditional safe-haven assets.
CB Mint embraces crypto payments
CB Mint is a premier online retailer specializing in precious metal bullion products, including gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, and palladium bars and coins. CB Mint champions the intrinsic value of precious metals, which all have important uses in industry due to their special chemical and elemental properties. Whereas the value of fiat and cryptocurrencies are vulnerable to disruption, precious metals hold their value given their scarcity, durability and demand across industry. By embracing crypto payments, CB Mint enables investors to seamlessly transition between digital assets and tangible precious metals, facilitating ownership of physical precious metal bullion as a way to protect their investments.
A strategic partnership between ForumPay and CB Mint
This partnership between ForumPay and CB Mint marks a strategic collaboration between two complementary sectors, by introducing a frictionless crypto payment solution for the precious metals market. As a trusted provider of gold, silver, and other precious metals, CB Mint now offers its customers an alternative, secure and efficient way to invest, allowing them to pivot between digital assets and tangible stores of value without the need to liquidate holdings.
Crypto payments align perfectly with the needs of precious metal investors and high-net-worth crypto holders, in that they offer greater financial flexibility, privacy and security. This collaboration positions CB Mint alongside other forward-thinking businesses integrating innovative technologies to capture broader revenue streams and enhance the customer experience. With real-time conversion rates, fast transaction processing, and the ability to use any cryptocurrency wallet, precious metal investments are now more accessible than ever.
Why invest in precious metals using crypto?
While Bitcoin has been hailed as the “digital gold”, many argue that it is far from a true hedge against inflation. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remain highly volatile and speculative assets, making a crypto-only portfolio inherently more risky. As such, many investors often turn to diversified portfolios that include precious metals alongside digital assets to balance risk and preserve wealth.
The demand for precious metals is anticipated to grow. As both developed and developing nations strengthen their economies, industrial demand for gold, silver, and platinum group metals will follow. By using crypto to invest in precious metals, investors can seamlessly convert digital assets into tangible stores of value. The integration of digital and physical assets ensures a more resilient investment strategy by leveraging the strengths of both asset classes.
How does ForumPay work?
ForumPay is a crypto payment gateway that operates as a seamless bridge between cryptocurrency users and traditional merchants who prefer to receive fiat money as payment. ForumPay’s priority is to ensure secure, efficient, transparent and private transactions between buyers and sellers. As such, when a customer chooses to pay in crypto, ForumPay instantly determines the crypto equivalent of the merchant’s FIAT price, using real-time exchange rates aggregated from leading exchanges, including its own.
This eliminates any risk of volatility for the merchant, who receives the precise sale price in fiat the following business day. ForumPay’s solution is also wallet-agnostic, allowing customers to pay using funds held in the crypto wallet of their choice, and offering even greater convenience. There are no setup fees or hidden commissions, as merchants pay a low per-transaction fee and avoid the complications of fraud, chargebacks, and PCI-DSS compliance.
This ForumPay and CB Mint partnership marks a strategic step forward for the precious metals industry, driven by modern demand for greater flexibility, privacy and security in payments.
