Oobit: Pay with Crypto, Keep Your Dignity (Mostly)

by

My dear reader, Oobit has grandly expanded its crypto payments platform to the United States, allowing Americans to link their self-custody wallets to Visa checkout counters worldwide. How very modern, wouldn’t you say? 🎩

Oobit Invades the U.S., Leaning on Bakkt’s Infrastructure for Nationwide Glamour

As reported by the Bitcoin.com News, Oobit’s U.S. debut marks their most ambitious rollout yet-introducing wallet-native crypto payments for your daily tea, groceries, and perhaps a new hat. Who needs cash when you’ve got crypto? 🤷♀️

On this momentous Monday, U.S. residents may now connect self-custody wallets-Metamask, Trust Wallet, Base, et al.-to pay directly at retail locations globally. The genius? No need to hand over your coins to custodians or force merchants into tech revolutions. Simply… poof, fiat magic. ✨

This offering arrives as the industry stumbles through practical payment use cases beyond “buy, sell, hold.” Tether-backed Oobit claims to solve the age-old problem of why you can’t buy a sandwich with Bitcoin. Now, merchants get fiat instantly, while users keep their wallets pristine until the final moment. How very… posh. 💸

To conquer the U.S., Oobit has partnered with Bakkt, a digital asset firm with licenses across all 50 states. Bakkt handles the regulatory tango, while Oobit dazzles consumers with Web3 wizardry. And yes, Bakkt has been busy this year-Japan next, perhaps? 🌏

“Bakkt is thrilled to support Oobit’s U.S. venture,” said Akshay Naheta, CEO of Bakkt. “Our infrastructure is built for scale, stability, and… glamour. This partnership cements Bakkt’s leadership in digital finance. Together, we’ll empower the future of global finance-or at least, the future of global coffee purchases.” ☕

This launch follows the GENIUS Act, which finally clarified stablecoin rules. With legal clarity, companies now offer tools to bridge stablecoins and traditional checkout systems. How thrilling! 🎉

Oobit’s U.S. entry offers consumers another way to spend crypto via familiar retail channels, while merchants receive fiat through trusted Visa networks. A win for all, perhaps? 🤝
