The payment app Oobit, invested in by Tether, teams up with Bakkt to enter the US market, enabling cryptocurrency to be spent as easily as swiping a card.

【区块律动】12月8日消息，Tether投资的移动支付工具Oobit搞了个大动作——拉上Bakkt一起进军美国市场，定在周一（12月9日）正式开张。

这个「碰一下就能付」的玩意儿挺有意思，直接打通了Base、某主流交易所的链、MetaMask、Phantom和Trust Wallet这些非托管钱包。iPhone和安卓用户都能用，想花加密货币？掏出手机就行。

更绝的是商家那边完全无感——他们收到的还是实打实的法币，走的是现成的Visa支付通道，实时到账。这波操作把加密支付和传统金融体系无缝接上了。

Another one of these "revolutionary innovations," fine, I'll see how long it lasts before I say anything.

I think I get it now—this is the kind of thing that lets crypto holders spend money like normal people? Finally, no more need to explain what a wallet is... Merchants don’t even know they’re receiving crypto? That’s a pretty slick move, feels like this could actually work... Wait, Tether invested? Why do I feel a bit uneasy about that... If this really takes off, it could change a lot of things. But I’ll have to see what the real user experience is like first. With Bakkt involved, at least compliance seems covered? The US market really dares to push in. I just want to know if the fees will be like fleecing people again... Some will definitely complain that this is centralized, but I think this is the right way to promote adoption. Tech alone isn’t enough. The real key is making it so even grandma can use it.

Damn, finally someone is making crypto payments actually work—this move by Tether and Bakkt is pretty impressive. Spending crypto just like swiping a card? I just want to know about the fees—don’t want to get excited for nothing in the end. If Oobit really takes off, merchants get fiat, users spend crypto—that’s the right way to do it. No need to force small businesses to learn blockchain. But honestly, whether it can be truly implemented is the key. Too many Web3 projects are all talk and no action. If this can actually roll out in the US, it means crypto payments are finally getting somewhere—not just talk on paper anymore.

Is it true? Now we can spend crypto offline as well? It feels like we’re one step closer to mass adoption.

WTF, is this for real? Tether is stirring things up again—this time they're letting crypto users spend coins just like swiping a card? Merchants receive fiat without even noticing... This logic is pretty wild.

This is the right way, finally someone got the payment experience right. The Visa channel connects directly to crypto, merchants don't need to change their POS systems, that's truly impressive. This Tether and Bakkt collaboration is something special, it might actually change things. Honestly, it should be smoother to use than many mainstream payment methods. Wait, will US regulators block this? Feels almost too smooth, which makes me a bit uneasy. Wallet interoperability is the real core competitiveness here—why didn't other projects think of this? Now crypto can really be used as money, not just for speculation.

Haha, finally someone is doing this right, not one of those fake innovations just to fleece newbies. Tether is really investing heavily, and with Bakkt's support it's even more solid... Can we actually use it this time? Honestly, direct fiat settlement is amazing—merchants don't have to worry, and we can spend crypto. It's a win-win. But wait, can this really outperform traditional payments... or is it just more hype? I have to give it a try. I'll install it on Monday and play around—maybe this is the turning point.

Yet another solution that looks great on the surface, but when you actually use it, you still end up struggling for half a day. If this thing could really be as smooth as swiping a card, that would be impressive, but I’d bet five bucks it’ll still get stuck. Bakkt joining is a signal, but the key issue is the regulatory attitude in the US, right? To be honest, the fiat-to-merchant part is indeed smart, at least it lowers the risk. Wait, this is a project invested by Tether—can we really trust it? I’m still thinking about it.

Now you can finally spend crypto just like swiping a card, sounds pretty cool. Wait, how is Bakkt still alive? Tether is up to something again, will it work this time? I like the real-time settlement, no more waiting forever. Feels like merchants still don’t realize they’re using crypto payments. The real big deal is seamless integration with Visa—that’s the key. Launching on Monday? I bet five bucks it’ll crash by next week.
