Binance Pay Enables Payments at PayPay Merchants in Japan via HIVEX
Binance announced that from September 30, 2026, eligible overseas Binance Pay users visiting Japan can make payments at PayPay-supported merchants nationwide via HIVEX. This integration allows around 48 million users from over 100 countries to use digital asset payments seamlessly while merchants receive settlements in Japanese yen. The initiative aims to enhance cross-border travel spending and reflects Binance's goal to bridge digital assets with traditional fiat payment systems in Japan's advanced cashless market.
