Binance Pay, a contactless cryptocurrency payment service designed by crypto exchange Binance, supports more than 40 cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), and USD coin (USDC). The platform is intended to enable instantaneous international money transfers and user-to-user transfers, eliminating third-party transaction fees.
Aiming to become a crypto hub, Dubai in recent months established a Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and adopted a number of crypto-friendly laws. Among the developments is Dubai’s push to grant operating licenses to several prominent cryptocurrency exchanges, which may have hastened companies’ adoption of crypto payments across the emirates.
A number of other UAE-based businesses, JA Resorts and Hotels, Majid Al Futtaim, and luxury property developer Damac among them, have been recent adopters of Binance Pay.
