KuCoin Pay has announced a strategic partnership with AEON, a Web3 payment protocol, to enhance mobile crypto payments for both online and in-store purchases.
This integration combines KuCoin’s global reach with AEON’s flexible, chain-agnostic payment tools, enabling users to make everyday payments using cryptocurrencies such as USDT, USDC, ETH, TON, and BNB.
Worth noting that KuCoin Pay supports over 50 cryptocurrencies and provides a contactless, secure way to make payments globally. Launched in 2024, AEON supports all major blockchain networks and has already processed over $2.5 million in monthly payments from more than 30,000 users.
Whether shopping online or making in-store purchases, users can now execute fast and low-cost transactions across various platforms.
The goal is to make Web3 payments more practical and accessible in high-growth markets, particularly in Asia, where the demand for mobile and digital payments is rapidly increasing.
AEON’s technology is crucial for this upgrade. With tools like Swap Pay for cross-chain transfers, Web3 Mobile Payment for retail, and Online Web3 Payment for e-commerce, the platform eliminates much of the usual friction associated with crypto transactions. It also offers features such as subscription payments, tipping for creators, and pre-authorized transactions, which are beneficial for planned or recurring payments.
