BitPay is a crypto payments processor that is used by many businesses and merchants all over the world. The company has so far processed around $2.8 billion in crypto from both individuals and business customers, with most transactions being in Bitcoin.
BitPay transactions are just like Bitcoin transaction, fast and convenient. The only difference is that BitPay processes the Bitcoin that was sent as payment into the business’s preferred currency.
“We’re excited to see this new addition connect our Wallet users to the world of merchants that accept Bitcoin (and soon other cryptos) as a payment method — one of the key ways to interact with and grow the digital asset ecosystem.” –said Blockchain.
