Bitfinex Pay has joined with MetaMask potentially opening the door to tens of millions of users.
The integration gives MetaMask’s 10 million active users access to Bitfinex Pay. By logging into their wallets, MetaMask users will have the capability to send and receive cryptocurrency payments directly through the payment gateway.
Merchants wanting to accept payments through Bitfinex Pay must first register an account and verify their identity with Bitfinex. Once verified, merchants can integrate the Bitfinex Pay widget on their websites.
MetaMask has played a crucial role in bringing new users to the cryptocurrency market. The platform has partnered with three crypto-focused custodians — BitGo, Qredo and Cactus Custody — to bring more institutional capital to crypto. MetaMask’s partnership with BitGo was especially notable, given that the company was acquired by Galaxy Digital this year.
