KuCoin has unveiled a new point-of-sale (PoS) system, allowing users to pay businesses directly with their crypto balances.
Through KuCoin Pay, merchants can integrate cryptocurrency payments into their operations, enabling customers to complete transactions with a QR code or the app.

As crypto adoption grows, tools like KuCoin Pay reflect the increasing integration of digital assets into everyday commerce, streamlining transactions for users and businesses alike.
