- AEON integrates WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin to simplify global crypto payments.
- USD1 payments to roll out across 20 million Southeast Asian retailers via AEON Pay.
- AEON expands into Africa and Latin America, targeting financial inclusion through stablecoins.
In a significant move toward mainstream cryptocurrency adoption, AEON has incorporated USD1, a USD-backed stablecoin developed by World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI), into its global payment framework. This move is part of AEON’s continuous work to make digital payments as easy and convenient as possible. With this change, the crypto exchange keeps pushing forward in providing Web3 financial services across the world.
AEON Pay to Support USD1 at 20M Southeast Asian Retailers
The combination should allow many users to quickly enjoy reliable digital payments. As a consequence, AEON Pay, the AEON service for mobile payments, will soon enable users to pay with USD1 at any of the more than 20 million retail locations in Southeast Asia. They cover several services, such as buying things in stores, eating in restaurants, adding credit and settling bills. Now, the company aims to expand its services into Africa and Latin America, to help bring financial services to people living in underserved communities.
More importantly, the arrival of these services is happening when interest in stablecoins is on the rise because they maintain the benefits of blockchain and offer price security. Since USD1 is equal to the U.S. dollar, transactions on HESA are quick and economical, and users avoid the usual volatility associated with other digital assets. Because of this, AEON’s move to USD1 fits with a larger trend in fintech where new blockchain ideas are built for regular people.
At this time, AEON is also working to merge crypto with artificial intelligence. Lately, players are able to let AI agents manage their purchases by paying in cryptocurrency. As a result, AEON is simplifying the way people pay with crypto and also investigating how the latest technologies can improve shopping both offline and online for everyone.
In addition to USD1, AEON has agreed to work with key blockchain networks, including Conflux and Stellar. Thanks to these integrations, $CFX, $XLM, and USDC have become available on the platform’s token list. This work allows AEON to assemble an ecosystem that becomes both interoperable and flexible, meaning people can choose their preferred way to use digital services.
AEON Pay Launches on Telegram and Top Web3 Wallets
Meanwhile, AEON Pay is available via the Telegram Mini App and leading Web3 wallets Bitget Wallet and Token Pocket. Users are able to pay by scanning QR codes, and AEON manages everything from dealing with on-chain tokens to settling payments live with merchants. For this reason, the process keeps being easy to use and fast.
The growing interest in stablecoins and digital assets globally means AEON’s integration of USD1 can now serve customers with faster, steadier, and more dependable international payments. Now that digital currencies are advancing, fintech companies seeking to work worldwide focus on making their payment capabilities secure and available for all.
Overall, this new venture from AEON demonstrates how traditional finance is pushing toward integration with innovative blockchain solutions. Stablecoins have helped the company grow its influence, making it a top choice in the move toward decentralized finance.
