KuCoin has rolled out a new feature, KuCoin Pay, that enables merchants to accept cryptocurrency payments directly through QR codes. Customers can make payments by scanning the code or using the KuCoin app, making it easier to pay with crypto for everyday purchases.
The feature, designed to integrate seamlessly with existing payment systems, supports 54 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and stablecoins like USDT and USDC. By launching this tool, KuCoin joins other crypto payment providers working to bridge the gap between digital currencies and the traditional financial system.
Several merchants are set to adopt KuCoin Pay starting in January, though their identities remain undisclosed. The launch follows a similar move by Flexa in August, which partnered with major retailers like Chipotle and Regal Cinemas to enable crypto payments.
This new feature continues to bridge the gap between crypto and traditional payments. Less than six months ago, KuCoin announced a partnership with Solartrip, a leading travel agency. This partnership integrated their sites and arranged cashback deals for KuCard users.
