Blockchain.com Partners with MetaMask to Expand Crypto Payment Services

Crypto company Blockchain.com announced the integration of its crypto payment solution, Blockchain.com Pay, with MetaMask, a well-known self-custodial web3 platform developed by Consensys, unlocking a new crypto payment option for MetaMask users globally.

According to Blockchain.com, the payment service is currently accessible in the UK and EU, with plans to expand into West Africa as the first phase of expansion, targeting regions with high cryptocurrency adoption.

Peter Smith, CEO at Blockchain.com, said: "The rapid adoption of Blockchain.com Pay underscores the growing demand for seamless and secure crypto payments. By leveraging our existing pool of over 40 million verified users, we're enabling them to transact with crypto directly within their MetaMask wallets, eliminating the need for repetitive KYC processes. This partnership represents a significant leap forward in user experience and accessibility, and we're excited to empower millions more to transact within MetaMask."

Lorenzo Santos, Senior Product Manager at Consensys, a leading blockchain and web3 software company, said: "As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, the integration of Blockchain.com Pay with MetaMask marks a significant milestone in making crypto more approachable and less complicated. This will help more people access crypto in a seamless and self-custodial manner, by offering more buying options with service providers they already use and trust."

Blockchain.com Pay, launched in December 2023, is a crypto on-ramp product designed to help web3, gaming and retail companies offer their own crypto brokerage. The service's first platform integrations include TRON and Changelly.
