WalletConnect Is Everywhere: The Network Powering Coinbase, Aave, Binance, and the Future of Onchain Finance

WalletConnect Network is no longer a connector. It’s core infrastructure.

Everywhere you look, in DeFi, TradFi, CeFi, and crypto payments, WalletConnect is the engine powering real user flows. It handles over 350 million secure connections across 70,000+ apps and 700+ wallets. That includes retail payment flows, institutional stablecoin transfers, and everything in between.

WalletConnect routes global onchain activity. That’s not ecosystem share. That’s ecosystem ownership. WalletConnect is the connectivity layer of the financial internet

If it moves onchain, it’s moving through WalletConnect.

WalletConnect is how users connect to Aave. How Coinbase is building its retail crypto checkout. How Binance Pay powers stablecoin transactions for 40 million users. And how payments, for the first time in crypto, are finally becoming usable.

DeFi runs on WalletConnect.

Aave, Lido, Balancer, Yearn, and dozens more use WalletConnect to power their login, signature, and transaction flows. Whether it’s on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Sui, Optimism, Base, or Polygon, WalletConnect gives every DeFi user a single entry point, no browser extensions, no custom RPCs, no dropped sessions.

DeFi wallets are multichain by default, if using WalletConnect. WalletConnect makes that reality seamless. Users can switch chains, sign messages, or stake across L2s without switching tools. WalletConnect is embedded into every meaningful DeFi protocol because it removes complexity without sacrificing control.

This isn’t a UX add-on. It’s the layer DeFi depends on.

TradFi is coming onchain, and WalletConnect is their access layer.

With the GENIUS Act signed into U.S. law, stablecoins now have federal legitimacy. The regulatory floodgates are opening. JPMorgan launched a deposit token on Base. Bank of America is experimenting with stablecoin rails. Visa and Mastercard are building stablecoin-powered settlement tools.

These institutions need one thing to participate: secure, compliant, universal connectivity. WalletConnect provides that. It’s chain-agnostic, battle-tested, and privacy-first. When a TradFi app needs to connect a wallet or move a stablecoin, WalletConnect is the safe, scalable way in.

The next wave of finance won’t be on Web2 rails. It’ll be onchain. WalletConnect is already there.

Coinbase is building for mainstream adoption, and WalletConnect is in the stack.

Coinbase has made its strategy clear: stablecoins, payments, and the Base ecosystem. Coinbase Commerce is expanding crypto checkout. Base is becoming the L2 for real-world apps. And Coinbase Wallet is being positioned as the onchain passport for everyday users.

WalletConnect is integrated throughout this push:

  • It powers the flows of funds in the Base ecosystem.
  • It supports app interactions across Base and other chains
  • It ensures that apps in the Coinbase ecosystem work with 700+ wallets, not just one

WalletConnect makes crypto feel invisible. That’s what retail needs.

And Coinbase isn’t alone. Binance integrates WalletConnect to move users between CeFi and DeFi. Kraken uses it to connect to apps. OKX uses it to power NFT and wallet flows. When an exchange becomes an app ecosystem, WalletConnect is the UX infrastructure they reach for.

Payments are exploding and WalletConnect moves the money.

Stablecoins now dominate onchain payments. 72% of payment volume across WalletConnect Network is in stablecoins. USDC handles high-frequency retail. USDT powers institutional flows, especially across Asia, LatAm, and Africa.

Binance Pay reported a 225% YoY increase in payment volume, powered largely by stablecoin flows over WalletConnect-compatible rails.

In Latin America, Yellow Card is reducing remittance fees from 9% to under 3%, using stablecoins, connected via WalletConnect.

In Asia, Kaia's 250 million users can now make peer-to-peer payments through messaging apps like LINE and KakaoTalk, using stablecoins, with WalletConnect working quietly in the background.

In e-commerce, Shopify’s pilot with Coinbase Commerce and USDC relies on WalletConnect-compatible flows to let shoppers check out using crypto.

WalletConnect powers the interaction. Stablecoins move the value. The result: real onchain payments that just work.

WalletConnect is already powering the next internet.

If you’re building a DeFi protocol, you use WalletConnect to reach users.

If you’re building a payment app, you use WalletConnect to connect wallets.

If you’re a TradFi institution moving into stablecoins, you need WalletConnect to safely interact with onchain finance.

If you’re building a retail checkout flow like Coinbase or Shopify, you integrate WalletConnect to remove friction.

The onchain economy isn’t a niche anymore. It’s a global network of apps, users, stablecoins, and protocols. WalletConnect is the connectivity layer for the financial internet.

This is what infrastructure looks like at scale.

WalletConnect is everywhere, because it works everywhere. Across chains. Across wallets. Across industries.

As crypto moves from speculation to real-world utility, there’s one protocol powering the experience users expect.

WalletConnect is the connectivity layer of the financial internet

And it’s already in your app, your wallet, and your checkout.
