OnePay Goes Crypto: A Walmart-Powered Farce

by

In the United States, cryptocurrency insinuates itself into polite commerce with the air of a brisk young cousin-useful, disconcerting, and forever arriving with a ledger and a flourish. People deploy it for payments, savings, and the occasional domestic extravagance, while most of the respectable world pretends not to notice. 🤔💸

Walmart-Backed App Adds Crypto Trading

OnePay, a fintech under the benevolent shadow of Walmart, contemplates letting users trade and hoard cryptocurrencies via its mobile apparatus. Later this year, OnePay users will be able to buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the discreet assistance of Zerohash. A neat scheme, wrapped in a friendly interface. 💼💳

OnePay is grafting cryptocurrency into its “everything app” for digital finance, in the hopeful quest to become the U.S. analogue of a WeChat-style super-app. The portfolio has expanded with the keenness of a summer sale, offering high-yield savings, cards, buy-now-pay-later, and even wireless plans.

Simplifying Payments

With Bitcoin and Ethereum nestled in the OnePay app, users could turn their digital assets into cash and then spend it in stores or pay off card balances. A convenience so plausible it threatens to make his lordship’s cane look merely decorative. 😂

Crypto adoption is gaining momentum in the U.S. under the current political weather. Even before adding crypto, OnePay already made something of a splash in the app world. The Walmart-backed fintech now ranks No. 5 among free finance apps on Apple’s App Store, ahead of the likes of JPMorgan Chase and Robinhood. 😮

SEC Signals Support

This comes as the SEC glances toward more flexible rules for digital assets. Not long ago, SEC Chair Paul Atkins signalled support for platforms that combine multiple financial functions under a single regulatory umbrella-an evident gesture toward modernising how blockchain markets are treated.

We’re forging a more respectable suite of financial services, so Coinbase can be your principal financial account.

Coinbase has also shared plans to become a super-app and provide the whole spectrum of financial services.

CEO Brian Armstrong has suggested that the ultimate aim is to supplant traditional banks by offering everything from payments and cards to rewards.
