Brave Wallet and BitPay Join Forces for Streamlined Online Crypto Payments

BitPay, the world’s largest provider of bitcoin payment solutions, has announced the integration of the BitPay Protocol into Brave Wallet, the cryptocurrency wallet provided by the privacy-focused Brave browser. This integration enables Brave Wallet users to effortlessly and securely make cryptocurrency payments directly from their browser.

Brave Wallet customers may now shop at a variety of online and offline businesses, including popular names such as Newegg, APMEX, PacSun, AMC Theatres, and airBaltic, thanks to this new feature. Users can make crypto payments from their Brave Wallet for ordinary purchases, travel expenses, or large-ticket products. BitPay provides support for a wide range of major cryptocurrencies, allowing Brave Wallet users to conduct transactions using their favorite digital money.

The BitPay Protocol, which was first established in 2017, is critical in providing accurate and dependable payments. The protocol establishes a high standard for payment quality in the bitcoin business by removing typical payment exceptions like as overpayments, underpayments, late payments, unconfirmed payments, and potential double-spends. Maintaining payment accuracy becomes increasingly critical as the crypto market expands and attracts new consumers.

“BitPay applauds Brave’s adoption of the BitPay Protocol,” said Stephen Pair, BitPay CEO. “With the hard work and dedication of the Brave team, we are able to promote payment quality online and in-store for both customers and merchants wanting to leverage the benefits of crypto payments.”

“With this new integration from BitPay, we’re expanding the utility of Brave Wallet and making it easier than ever for our users to spend their crypto on real world goods and services,” said James Mudgett, VP of Web3 products at Brave.
