If you're building a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, peer-to-peer platform, checkout flow, ATM network, or crypto payment solution, you're likely asking the same question: how do we bring stablecoins into the mix, without compromising speed, security, or compliance?
The answer: WalletConnect.
WalletConnect is quickly becoming the infrastructure standard for crypto and onchain payments, powering over $400 billion in annual network volume and helping businesses launch stablecoin checkout flows across wallets, regions, and platforms.
This isn’t just another integration. It’s a shift in how the next generation of payments is built.
Introducing WalletConnect Pay: From Basic Transfers to Full-Featured Crypto Checkout
Today, most crypto payments are limited to basic value transfers. They lack the feature depth that merchants and users have come to expect from traditional systems like Visa or Apple Pay.
WalletConnect Pay is changing that, turning fragmented crypto checkouts into full-featured, merchant-grade payment flows.
Launched in 2025 and evolving into 2026, WalletConnect Pay introduces the primitives needed for crypto payments to reach feature parity with card networks. And in the process, it unlocks advantages that card rails can’t offer.
WalletConnect Is Now Live in Retail via dtcpay
dtcpay, a licensed Major Payment Institution (MPI) in Singapore, is now the first MPI to integrate WalletConnect into its point-of-sale network.
Merchants can now accept USDC, USDT, and other stablecoins using the exact same terminals they already trust. Users simply scan a QR code to pay with their wallet, no extra apps, no new hardware.
“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 .
The rollout is already underway across Asia, with more POS providers integrating soon.
This is stablecoin utility in the real world. No extra steps. No app switching. Just scan and pay.
WalletConnect Is Already Handling More Volume Than Most Fintech Giants
The WalletConnect Network is projected to surpass $400 billion in annual Total Network Volume (TNV) across payment, wallet, and app integrations. That makes it one of the largest active crypto infrastructure networks globally.

How WalletConnect Works for Stablecoin Payments
The WalletConnect Network is built for interoperability and scale. Here's how it enables stablecoin flows across any app or merchant:
- User scans a QR code or taps to pay with their wallet.
- Transaction is signed and confirmed, using their existing stablecoin balance.
- Settlement occurs onchain, with no reliance on PSP-exchange integrations.
- Merchants receive funds instantly into supported accounts or wallets.
This flow works across desktop, mobile, embedded apps, and kiosk-based POS systems. It's the most flexible way to accept stablecoins today.

And now, it’s making onchain payments work at scale.
