Binance Pay Expands Agentic Payments Into Real-World Commerce

Binance Pay announced on October 13, 2026 the expansion of agentic payments into real-world commerce, extending its strategy of connecting cryptocurrency wallets to established local payment networks rather than requiring merchants to install new hardware. The announcement follows integrations in Japan and Bhutan disclosed in recent months. On September 30, 2026, Binance Pay launched at participating PayPay merchants in Japan through HIVEX, enabling eligible overseas visitors to pay for dining, shopping, accommodation and other expenses. Merchants receive Japanese yen, according to a PayPay Corporation press release dated September 30, 2026.
