Binance Goes Big: Now You Can Buy Crypto with Apple Pay and Google Pay!

Binance and Worldpay Team Up to Revolutionize Crypto Purchases

Hang onto your hats, crypto fans! Binance, the heavyweight champ of crypto exchanges, just upped its game by teaming up with Worldpay. Now, you can snag your favorite digital coins using Apple Pay or Google Pay. That's right, your everyday mobile payment methods are now your gateway to the wild world of crypto!

This isn't just some minor tweak; it's a full-blown revolution in how you can buy crypto. Binance isn't messing around—they're all about meeting you where you live, bringing the power of web3 right to your fingertips. And get this, it's a game-changer in places where credit cards are as rare as a unicorn, but everyone's got a smartphone.

"By supporting the most widely adopted digital wallets, Binance enables new users to explore digital assets using tools they already trust," Binance declared with a swagger.

This isn't Binance's first rodeo with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Back in November 2022, they let you buy crypto with your credit or debit cards through these payment giants. But let's be real, that was just a warm-up. The new deal? It's the main event, with fewer restrictions and more freedom.

Worldpay Dives Deeper into the Crypto Pool

And what about Worldpay? They're not just dipping their toes in the crypto waters anymore—they're diving in headfirst. They're not just processing payments; they're getting ready to verify blockchain transactions. That's right, they want to be the eyes and ears of the digital ledger world.

Rumors are swirling that Worldpay's already cozying up with several blockchains, aiming to become a validator. That's a big deal—it means they'll be the ones making sure everything's on the up-and-up in the digital realm. Sanchit Mall, Worldpay's web3 and crypto guru in the Asia-Pacific, put it bluntly: "We want to be part of the ecosystem right at the base."

And the numbers don't lie. In 2024, Worldpay handled a whopping $1.3 billion in stablecoin transactions. That's up from less than a billion the year before. Sure, it's just a drop in the bucket compared to their $2.3 trillion total transaction volume, but it's a sign of things to come. The crypto wave is rising, and Worldpay is riding it all the way to the shore.
