The Coinbase integration is a popular feature and has been part of the BitPay Wallet App since the early beginnings. In one month, this enhanced integration will improve the experience and gives users the option to monitor and manage all funds in the BitPay Wallet App, no matter where the funds are stored. The improved Coinbase integration also shows the funds exactly as they are in the Coinbase platform.
Both of these integrations enable consumers and businesses the ability to spend USDC, a U.S. dollar-pegged currency at businesses around the world. Stablecoins continue to see dramatic growth within the cross-border payments sector. Users can also pay with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, XRP and ETH.
