Binance is the largest centralized crypto exchnage globally, and they have been reading the industry for quite some time now. The platform has been responsible for boosting crypto adoption and also bringing new users to the industry. And now, their latest move will make things even better for crypto. Binance now offers Apple and Google Pay as payment options for users.
The significance of adding Apple and Google Pay to Binance
Until now, if you were to use Binance to purchase crypto, there were a few options. The first and probably the most popular one was using P2P trading to buy USDT and then complete your trade. Secondly, there was the option to use cards to purchase crypto directly, but the commission there was very high. It was also not easy for new users who created an entry barrier to using Binance for buying crypto.
Now, as Binance offers Apple and Google Pay as payment options, users can easily make crypto purchases. It is estimated that both of them combined have almost 70 million users, with almost 2/3rds of them using Apple Pay. This removes a significant entry barrier for Binance in adding new users to its platform.
Considering that Binance has millions of users worldwide, it is beneficial for the platform and crypto in general. Even now, purchasing cryptocurrencies is complicated for the majority of the population, and that changes from now on. So, this move will boost Bitcoin adoption as well. However, do note that if Apple Pay and Google Pay services are not available in your country, the payment options wouldn’t be available for you.
