Walmart Partners with OnePay for Crypto Transactions
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- New Crypto Transaction Model: Walmart's partnership with OnePay allows users to purchase Bitcoin and Ethereum in-app, converting these into USD for retail transactions, despite the POS systems only accepting USD, significantly enhancing consumer acceptance of cryptocurrencies.
- Fintech Integration: By leveraging Zero Hash's crypto infrastructure for currency conversion, Walmart ensures streamlined USD settlements, and while the checkout process remains unchanged, this innovation enhances crypto accessibility for customers, potentially boosting enthusiasm for crypto in retail.
- Market Impact: This initiative may drive broader adoption of cryptocurrencies in retail, emphasizing the scalability of convert-to-cash models, akin to practices seen at Starbucks and Home Depot, thereby reinforcing this commercial trend.
- Regulatory Attention: As Walmart complies with existing financial norms, this move may attract regulatory interest, particularly under its MSB framework, and with increased consumer familiarity with cryptocurrencies, future market dynamics warrant close observation.
