Oobit is officially launching in the United States. For the first time, Americans can connect self-custody wallets like MetaMusk, Trust Wallet, Base, and more to pay directly at every Visa-accepting checkout around the world.
For years, crypto has excelled at storing and transferring value, but not at everyday spending. Users could hold it, send it, and trade it, yet the moment they needed it most, crypto stopped working. Oobit solves this industry-wide gap, enabling real, seamless payments from any Web3 wallet without requiring custodial transfers or merchant onboarding. Designed for simplicity, Oobit makes crypto simple to use from any wallet, anywhere.
Stablecoins are ready, wallets are ready, finally, real money gets used. Crypto promised financial freedom, but Americans were limited the moment they reached checkout. We built Oobit to solve that. Now, anyone can walk into a store with the wallet they already use and pay the Oobit way. This shift is much bigger than people imagine. It feels like watching ChatGPT in its first days before the world understood how fast everything would change. This is that moment for money. Said Oobit CEO, Amram Adar.
To enable nationwide coverage, Oobit has joined forces with Bakkt, a publicly listed US digital asset company with licensing and compliance infrastructure across all 50 US states. Bakkt provides the regulated foundation. Oobit delivers the technology, consumer experience, and on-chain settlement layer, creating the first wallet-agnostic payment solution available coast to coast.
Bakkt is proud to partner with Oobit as they expand into the U.S. Our digital-asset infrastructure is built for scale and stability, and coupled with our US-wide compliance framework, we are perfectly positioned to ensure their successful launch. This partnership further solidifies Bakkt's leadership in the digital asset marketplace, delivering institutional-grade tooling to empower the future of global finance. Said Akshay Naheta, Chief Executive Officer of Bakkt.
From Regulatory Clarity to Real-World Money
The GENIUS Act marked a real inflection point in the U.S. legal framework: it brought long-needed clarity to stablecoins and the deposit-like rails that make digital dollars usable at scale. But clarity alone doesn’t complete the job, not when “money” still has to work in the real world, at real merchants, for everyday purchases.
That’s the gap Oobit closes. Oobit turns regulated stablecoin value into instant, merchant-ready fiat at the point of sale, so users can pay from their wallets while merchants receive fiat instantly. Users keep control of their assets until the moment of payment, with seamless external wallet connectivity and transparent economics: no hidden spreads, no staking hoops, no token-gated tiers, just simple, spendable crypto that actually functions as money.
