Walmart Enables Bitcoin Payments at Checkout for 150 Million Customers

CryptoNewsFlash
BTC-3,37%
ETH-5,38%
BNB-2,73%

  • Walmart enabled Bitcoin checkout via OnePay Cash, opening up access to about 150 million weekly customers through the app.
  • Bitcoin reclaimed the 50-day MA and moved above the 4-hour 200-MA/200-EMA, with $90,900 holding as support while $94,000 remained the resistance.

Walmart has enabled Bitcoin and Ether payments at checkout through OnePay Cash, according to a CNBC report. The update would enable instant crypto payments to over 150 million customers who shop on the retail giant in physical stores and online.  The flow centers on using crypto on the same app used for Walmart-linked money tools. Users can fund balances with BTC and ETH and then use this crypto stash when paying for goods at checkout. Once payment is done, the crypto will be instantly converted to US dollars, so the checkout settles like a standard card or wallet purchase.https://finance.yahoo.com/news/walmart-backed-fintech-onepay-offer-151356446.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

These developments come months after CNF reported that OnePay was preparing to add crypto trading and custody. The planned rollout was set to support Bitcoin and Ethereum, with in-app conversion from crypto to cash. That structure would let users spend at Walmart or apply funds toward card balances inside the app. The report also linked the move to Walmart’s stablecoin and digital-payments work under a clearer U.S. framework. Bitcoin Payments Gain Ground Across Large Retailers Walmart’s recent move follows other industry giants like IKEA and Home Depot, who have announced similar integrations in the recent past. The largest hardware store chain in the U.S., Home Depot, has supported Bitcoin-funded purchases through Flexa rails for years, based on published retail payment summaries. In that setup, shoppers use a compatible wallet and scan a code at checkout. Meanwhile, Flexa routes the payment and converts the crypto amount into dollars for the merchant. As a result, the store receives fiat settlement while the customer spends crypto from a wallet balance. This approach uses existing checkout scanners, which limits the need for new hardware at the register. And while IKEA does not list cryptocurrency as a standard payment method in its U.S. checkout options, shoppers can still fund IKEA spending by purchasing IKEA gift cards with BTC through third-party providers. Those gift cards can then be redeemed for IKEA purchases, which creates an indirect Bitcoin-to-retail path. Earlier, CNF outlined that even China’s wealthy investors are shifting from luxury property toward Bitcoin and global equities. The report cited Shenzhen Bay deals where high-end homes were swapped against Bitcoin, Nvidia shares, and BNB. BTC has recovered in the new year, trading around $92,400 on Monday, after swinging above $93,170 during the session. On the daily trend view, the top crypto reclaimed the 50-day moving average, which some analysts treat as a key filter.  In the last seven days, Bitcoin has risen over** 3%**, rising from $89,400 to **$92,454 **at press time, with a $1.84 trillion market cap and $33.56 billion in 24-hour trading volume.
