BitPay announced that it has enhanced its service to make it easier for Coinbase users to spend crypto including USD Coin, Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies at BitPay enabled merchants directly from a Coinbase account.
This will allow consumers to make payments directly from the Coinbase account to BitPay merchants, eliminating the peer to peer movement of funds.Users will be able to pay BitPay merchants with their Coinbase account directly from within their BitPay Wallet App.
“Customers who have a Coinbase account are looking for a fast, secure and easy way to pay for goods and services with crypto globally now have additional options through BitPay enabled merchants,” said Sean Rolland, Director of Product at BitPay. “Integration between Coinbase and BitPay lets users pay directly from their Coinbase account, opening up new global businesses opportunities to accept and pay with crypto.”
This enhanced integration will improve the experience and gives users the option to monitor and manage all funds in the BitPay Wallet App, no matter where the funds are stored. Both of these integrations enable consumers and businesses the ability to spend USDC, a U.S. dollar-pegged currency at businesses around the world. Stablecoins continue to see dramatic growth within the cross-border payments sector. Users can also pay with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, XRP and ETH.
