Wallets have made it easy to hold crypto, but spending it has always been the hard part. That’s exactly what WalletConnect Pay is fixing. A system that removes the complexity behind crypto payments so users can simply pay with the assets they already hold while everything else happens quietly in the background. This is how crypto payments finally start to feel normal. 🚀

We moved $7.8bn last week in stablecoins alone. People want to use their crypto. But payments are still complex for users and merchants - too many clicks, too many wallets, too many chains, too many assets, compliance, refunds, interoperability, fx etc etc etc. WalletConnect Pay is making this delightful - to PSPs with our simple single integration to offer crypto payments to merchants - to users with our 1 click payment experience from any WalletConnect enabled wallet. Below is today’s experience - it works - but now the team is cooking right now to make this 100x better in 2026.

It's not like there isn't demand for crypto payments... It's that merchants don't want to deal with operational hassle. And they shouldn't have to. WalletConnect Pay solves regulatory uncertainty. ↓
