A milestone for Bybit Pay: crypto payment utility in action
One of the most exciting highlights of TOKEN2049 is the debut of Bybit Pay’s real-world utility in Dubai at a live event setting. For the first time, attendees can experience how effortless crypto payments can be — they can simply sign up for Bybit Pay, show their pay account at the Barista Bar, and enjoy a free cup of coffee. Additionally, visitors can also scan the QR code at the Bybit booth, post about their experience on X, and claim a free coffee. It’s a delicious way to explore how crypto is going mainstream, one cup at a time.
Bybit Pay was first introduced in Brazil, where it began transforming the payments landscape by bridging fiat and crypto in a seamless, intuitive way. Bybit’s solution is a next-generation payments platform designed to simplify the transaction experience and unlock new efficiencies for both consumers and businesses.
