Direct CEX payments now integrated for web3 platforms
Through this collaboration, Swapped Connect merchants can now accept payments straight from CEX balances via KuCoin Pay. This eliminates multiple transaction steps that typically cause user drop-offs during crypto payments. The system streamlines the process, enabling faster and more secure transactions while maintaining compliance and transparency.
By bridging centralized exchange payments with decentralized platforms, KuCoin Pay and Swapped Connect aim to close the gap between crypto exchanges and Web3 commerce. The model supports seamless deposits for apps, platforms, and websites, positioning KuCoin Pay as one of the first major CEX payment gateways to expand into the Web3 merchant space.
Redefining crypto payments for everyday use
The integration marks a significant step toward making crypto payments as effortless as traditional digital payments. Users can now spend, deposit, or transfer value directly using their CEX balances, a move that reflects KuCoin Pay’s push to bring cryptocurrency into mainstream retail and digital ecosystems.
Swapped currently processes over 850,000 transactions monthly and serves more than 1.5 million users globally, providing the backbone for fast and secure crypto payment solutions. KuCoin Pay supports over 50 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, USDT, USDC, and KCS, allowing users and businesses to transact globally with minimal friction.
This partnership underscores both companies’ mission to enhance Web3 usability and expand real-world adoption of crypto payments.
Alongside the partnership, KuCoin has achieved the ISO 27701:2025 certification, further reinforcing its commitment to data protection and privacy for over 40 million global users. The new certification builds upon KuCoin’s existing ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II accreditations, solidifying its standing as one of the most security-conscious exchanges in the crypto sector.
