WalletConnect Launches Single-Integration Crypto Checkout, Binance Pay Live

WalletConnect's move pushes it beyond a connectivity layer into checkout infrastructure, and listing Binance Pay as the sole live option gives Binance accounts a direct merchant payment rail before rival exchanges are connected. The immediate effect falls on merchants weighing crypto acceptance against integration overhead, and on the exchanges still marked coming soon. Whether the single-integration pitch holds once more exchanges go live, and whether merchants treat exchange-account payments as a durable channel rather than a niche add-on, is the open question.
