Binance Pay witnesses 71% transactional volume growth

Transaction volumes for Binance Pay, a retail crypto payments solution by Binance, soared by over 71% year-on-year to exceed $77 billion in 2023, a new report says. By the end of 2023, the number of active Binance Pay users across the globe shot up by nearly 70%, to over 12 million.

Over the past 12 months, thousands of new merchants have been added to Binance Pay.
