Since 2021, Binance Pay has processed over US$280B and is expanding QR payments to 10+ countries by Q3 2026.
Kazakhstan is bringing crypto into everyday transactions!
Binance Kazakhstan and Alatau City Bank introduced a live crypto payment flow - presented directly to the President of Kazakhstan.
A simple use case: pay with digital assets, settle instantly in local currency.
This is what adoption looks like - where innovation meets regulation, and strong local partnerships drive real progress.
I am learning to view everything that happens in a positive light. For example, a price drop may be an opportunity to acquire high-value assets at a lower price, and FUD can raise awareness of Binance among those who previously didn’t know about it. Not investment advice.
Full Insights of my Interview with Thomas Gregory, Binance VP of Fiat during Binance Blockchain week 🔥
👉 Thomas, who oversees the global fiat on- and off-ramp infrastructure at Binance, says his role revolves around one core mission: making it as easy as possible for anyone, anywhere, to move money into and out of the crypto economy.
“I want every person on this planet to have a really easy way to get their fiat money into Binance. If we can do that, they can participate in the Web3 economy instantly and simply,” he explained.
But Binance’s ambitions don’t stop at access. They extend all the way to utility.
👉From Holding Crypto to Using Crypto effortlessly
A major focus for Thomas's team is enabling seamless everyday spending of digital assets.
“Once money is in Binance, users should be able to use it to buy and sell things without friction. That’s where Binance Pay, the Binance Card, and our broader payments ecosystem come in,” he said.
These tools are designed to eliminate the traditional multi-step process of cashing out to banks and then spending. Instead, users can simply pay with their crypto directly and instantly.
The vision is simple: If you have a Binance account, you shouldn’t need a traditional bank to participate in global commerce.
👉Expanding With Mastercard
Brazil Success and More Countries Ahead
One of the highlights of the discussion was Binance’s growing partnership with Mastercard. Recently, Binance relaunched the Binance Card in Brazil, and the early results have been “phenomenal.”
“People can now have a Binance-branded card supported by Mastercard right in their wallet, and the response has been extremely strong,” Thomas shares.
And yes, more countries are on the roadmap. While Thomas stopped short of giving a date for Europe’s return, he teased that user demand is impossible to ignore:
“We’d obviously like to bring it back to Europe. There’s huge demand. Our goal is to make our products as global and universal as possible.”
👉Binance Pay: Explosive Growth and a New Global Payments Network
Few products illustrate Binance’s momentum better than Binance Pay. Over the past year, it has surged to more than 45 million users, 20 million merchants, and most impressively over $250 billion in processed transactions.
“Why do you need a bank account if you’re already holding fiat or crypto inside Binance?” Tuomas asked.
“With Binance Pay, you remove unnecessary steps. You can just use your crypto instantly to buy what you want.”
For merchants, the appeal is even clearer: access to nearly 300 million potential customers with one integration.
This simple value proposition has helped Binance rapidly build one of the world’s largest crypto merchant networks.
👉Institutional Momentum and What’s Coming Next
The past 18 months have been transformative for institutional adoption, driven by developments such as U.S. Bitcoin ETFs and regulatory clarity in key markets.
Thomas believes this trend is just getting started.
“Institutional involvement builds trust across the entire ecosystem. Going into 2026, we’ll see more use cases, particularly in cross-border payments and remittances using stablecoins,” he said.
This aligns with a broader global shift toward stablecoin based settlement and crypto enabled financial infrastructure, a shift Binance is positioning itself to lead.
👉Will Binance Blockchain Week Return to Europe?
When asked about the community’s favorite question, whether Binance Blockchain Week will return to Europe, Thomas laughed:
“That’s above my pay grade! But being from Europe myself, I’d love to see it happen. Hopefully one day.”
And as Thomas put it:
“If we give our users smooth, clear, global experiences for moving money in, out, and across the world, why would they need a bank at all?”

Sending money across borders is slow, expensive, and often delayed for days.
That’s changing with BNB Chain x @bpn_network. Read the full announcement 👇
🔗 https://t.co/LlItNP7a2U
BPN, built on BNB Chain, is creating a payment network that uses stablecoins (digital currencies tied to real money) to move funds between countries instantly.
For businesses and users, that means faster transactions, lower fees, and full transparency, all powered by blockchain.
This is the next step toward PayFi: a world where payments are global, instant, and open to everyone.
Let's make crypto payments work on #BNB.
Many have tried, but no one has really hit it big yet. BPN (Better Payments Network) starts with a focus on B2B, multi-currency, multi-stablecoin, cross border use case.
