Walmart Dips Into Crypto: OnePay’s 2025 Gamble with Digital Assets!

by

It is with no small degree of astonishment that we find ourselves, in the year of our Lord 2025, witnessing OnePay-Walmart’s very own fintech contraption-embark upon a most daring adventure. Indeed, reports from various sources have revealed that, later in 2025, this peculiar mobile banking app shall open the doors to the vast, mysterious world of cryptocurrency. Forsooth, users shall be able to buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly within the app-an action that shall indeed elevate OnePay’s rather mundane assortment of financial offerings, which previously consisted of savings accounts and credit cards, to the exalted realms of digital assets. How very forward-thinking! ⚡

OnePay’s Crypto Ambitions

It appears, from various whispers and half-heard conversations, that OnePay has partnered with Zerohash-an establishment that specializes in custody and settlement services for digital assets. This, of course, suggests that OnePay shall rely on the support of external infrastructure rather than attempt the Herculean task of building everything from scratch. A wise decision, no doubt. For as we know, even the most splendid of empires require assistance now and again. 🏰

Launched in 2021, OnePay is a proud offspring of Walmart, with its founding nurtured by Ribbit Capital, and it has steadily been introducing banking features in an attempt to satisfy the most pedestrian of financial needs.

The Partnership Ballet

To further expand its horizons, OnePay has allied itself with Synchrony, as they prepare to relaunch Walmart’s credit card offerings. One can only imagine the jubilation of the public at the prospect of such a grand return. And let us not forget that, as Reuters reported on June 9, 2025, these wondrous card programs will be available once again this fall-an announcement that surely caused no small stir. 💳

The app is also set to offer savings accounts and buy-now, pay-later schemes, which are all rather pedestrian in comparison to the forthcoming crypto window. If rumors are to be believed, users may soon be able to convert their beloved crypto into good old fiat currency, which could then be used to purchase items from the very Walmart stores that first made them customers. It is the epitome of the modern age! ✨

How Much Will Users Get Access To At First?

As reports suggest, OnePay will, at least in the beginning, limit its digital currency offerings to the two most prominent tokens-BTC and ETH. Indeed, the wise and prudent men behind OnePay have decided that a brief and simple list of coins is preferable to an overwhelming plethora of options. The specifics of fees, limits, and state availability remain as elusive as ever-though they may well be revealed before the grand unveiling. 🎩

The rollout of these offerings is slated for later in 2025, with the new credit card program expected to debut in the fall. But alas, no firm date has yet been set for the commencement of crypto trading. Ah, how delightful it is to live in such an unpredictable world! 🎢

Regulatory Hurdles And Timing

At this juncture, it must be noted that both state and federal regulators have set their keen eyes upon the burgeoning world of crypto. Their watchful gaze could, and no doubt will, affect the pace at which OnePay proceeds. Moreover, the company has not filed detailed disclosures regarding its crypto services, and both Walmart and OnePay have declined to comment. Could this suggest that the crypto service will be released in phases? A possibility, though only time shall tell. ⏳

What This Means For Shoppers And Users

If the plans come to fruition, Walmart patrons who already use OnePay will soon find themselves with yet another means of accessing the cryptographic wonders of BTC and ETH, all without the need to sign up for a separate crypto exchange. What a convenience! Of course, the more discerning analysts and users will be watching with bated breath to see how the app handles fees, the protection of deposits, and whether or not it allows one to spend their hard-earned crypto directly in the stores or whether conversion to fiat currency is necessary first. 🛒
