Today, WalletConnect is entering the world of point-of-sale payments, marking a new era for onchain finance.
Singapore’s dtcpay, a licensed Major Payment Institution (MPI), has become the first MPI partner to integrate WalletConnect, making stablecoin payments incredibly easy for merchants and consumers across Asia and beyond. For users, it's the same experience as it would be if you were to scan an Alipay QR code at checkout, and for businesses, it follows the same flow as your normal POS.
This collaboration signals an important milestone: WalletConnect is no longer just the connectivity standard for wallets and apps. WalletConnect is now powering the next generation of onchain payments and POS infrastructure.
Why This Matters
Payments are becoming crypto’s breakout use case. According to The State of Onchain Payments 2025, only 10% of users currently choose payments as their preferred use case, with inefficiency as the biggest blocker. Together with DTCPay, WalletConnect is removing that barrier by delivering fast, trusted, and universal stablecoin transactions.
Stablecoins already make up 72% of payments across the WalletConnect network, with USDC and USDT leading the way . By embedding WalletConnect into DTCPay’s POS and merchant systems, stablecoin payments will feel as familiar as tapping a card at checkout.
From Wallets to POS: Expanding the Financial Internet
For years, WalletConnect has been the connectivity layer for the financial internet, enabling 70,000+ apps and 700+ wallets to connect with end-to-end encryption. Today, WalletConnect is extending that same institutional-grade trust and security to merchants and payment providers.
This shift means:
- Merchants gain universal access to stablecoin payments without new hardware or custom integrations.
- Consumers enjoy seamless, secure checkout experiences across both online and in real life.
- Institutions can rely on WalletConnect to bridge traditional systems with onchain settlement.
What Leaders Are Saying
“Together, we are making onchain payments as intuitive and trusted as card payments, while opening new possibilities for merchants, institutions, and consumers worldwide,” said Band Zhao, Group Chairman of dtcpay .
“Stablecoins are already proving to be one of crypto’s most important real-world use cases. By connecting wallets, merchants, and consumers through trusted infrastructure, we’re accelerating the shift from experimental to essential in how the world transacts,” said Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect .
The Road Ahead
This partnership is only the beginning. As more enterprises, merchants, and institutions embrace onchain settlement, WalletConnect will serve as the infrastructure layer connecting wallets, apps, custodians, and now POS systems.
Billions already flow through the WalletConnect network every month. With DTCPay, we’re making that value instantly usable at checkout, bridging the gap between digital assets and everyday commerce.
Conclusion
WalletConnect has always been the standard for connecting wallets and apps. Now, with DTCPay, WalletConnect is expanding into onchain POS and payment infrastructure, making stablecoin payments universal, frictionless, and trusted.
WalletConnect is the connectivity layer for the financial internet. And with this step, the financial internet is becoming a reality for merchants and consumers everywhere.
