PHILLIPSBURG, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Edison Nation, Inc. (NASDAQ:EDNT), a multifaceted ecosystem which fosters innovation and drives IP, media and consumer products, announced today that it is partnering with Buyaladdin to make its products available direct-to-consumers (DTC) in Asia. Buyaladdin is the first multi-payment shopping platform that provides a convenient, secure and efficient online marketplace for those who want to transact using cryptocurrency assets along with fiat currency or credit cards.
Buyaladdin joins an already expansive list of partnerships that Edison Nation has with many of the world’s top brands, companies, and manufacturers, further enhancing the reach and sales channels for its innovators’ products across 20 global markets. Buyaladdin serves upwards of 100 million shoppers who make purchases using a variety of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ABBC Coin.
“Buyaladdin opens the doors on our DTC efforts in Asia by providing us the reach and flexibility for consumers to purchase our inventors’ products in multiple ways and with a variety of currencies,” said Chris Ferguson, CEO of Edison Nation. “We’re charging into the DTC market in Asia, on the heels of similar efforts in Europe and North America, because turning great ideas into successful products requires not only focus, dedication and money, but most of all reach and exposure to consumers who want to purchase goods in the currency of their choosing.”
Buyaladdin is an emerging e-commerce player that has integrated with more than 100 major retailers worldwide—including Amazon, eBay, Coupang, Rakuten, Allegro and Lazada—to offer a wide variety of high-quality products. By partnering with Edison Nation, Buyaladdin brings its first community of innovators and their exciting products into its marketplace.
“Buyaladdin is an ideal partner to support Edison Nation’s DTC foray into Asia, because we’re the first and only online shopping platform to accept crypto as a payment method,” said Geun-Woo Lee, CSO of Buyaladdin.com, Inc. “We’re excited to add Edison Nation’s products to our growing global marketplace. Not only are our shoppers going to love Edison Nation’s clever, fun and sometimes quirky products, they’re going to be ecstatic that for the first time they can purchase them using crypto.”
The Edison Nation platform has a community of more than 200,000 innovators that confidentially submit ideas via the company’s online platform. From this community, Edison Nation reviews, selects and applies proprietary algorithms to discern which are the most suitable projects for development. Those innovative products that are selected and brought to market globally with the Buyaladdin platform will also be available in Asia.
