    Real-world adoption continues: A1 Logistics now accepts cryptocurrency payments through VaaSBlock Payments, streamlining international shipping for digital asset professionals.

     

    Hong Kong, 14 October 2025 — VaaSBlock is proud to announce that A1 Logistics, a trusted name in international freight and relocation, has joined the growing network of companies adopting VaaSBlock Payments.

     

    Seamless Integration

    Through this partnership, A1 Logistics customers can now settle their cargo invoices directly in cryptocurrency, without first converting to fiat. The integration is designed to work seamlessly with A1 Logistics’s existing accounting and operational practices, ensuring a smooth, compliant process for both the company and its clients.

    This is an essential step for the real-world adoption of crypto payments. Many digital asset professionals (often referred to as “degenerates” or degens in crypto culture) are highly mobile, traveling frequently for work and lifestyle. Alongside that mobility comes the recurring need to transport personal items and professional equipment across borders. With VaaSBlock Payments, these customers can pay in the currencies they earn in, without friction.

     

    New Real-World utilities

    “At VaaSBlock, our mission is to build credibility and trust around the adoption of digital assets in real-world use cases. Partnering with A1 Logistics demonstrates how crypto can integrate into established industries with no disruption to core workflows,” said Benjamin Rogers, Co-Founder & CEO of VaaSBlock.

    This partnership is one of the earliest examples of a freight and relocation company adopting cryptocurrency payments at scale. Together, A1 Logistics and VaaSBlock are setting the standard for practical, compliant, and user-friendly crypto payment solutions that support a truly global community.

     

    A newcomer in the Next Generation of Businesses

    A1 Logistics joins a growing network of established companies from the Web2 world that are partnering with VaaSBlock to modernize their payment systems through crypto. This network is expanding quickly, especially in sectors like international relocation, and global trade: industries that rely heavily on fast, secure cross-border transactions.

    VaaSBlock’s approach is resonating with these businesses because it bridges two worlds: the stability and structure of traditional operations with the speed and flexibility of blockchain technology. For companies like A1 Logistics, the ability to accept crypto payments without overhauling existing systems is a major advantage. It allows them to serve a new generation of clients, remote teams, tech startups, and global professionals… who increasingly prefer to transact in digital assets.

    This growing ecosystem also fosters collaboration between forward-thinking businesses that share a common goal: making global commerce simpler, faster, and more transparent. Each new partner strengthens the network, helping normalize crypto adoption in industries once considered too traditional for Web3. With A1 Logistics onboard, VaaSBlock continues to prove that the future of payments will meet the needs of a borderless, digital economy.
