dtcpay Becomes WalletConnect’s First MPI Partner in Asia to Scale Secure, Low‑Friction Onchain Stablecoin Payments

dtcpay, a licensed Major Payment Institution (MPI), today unveiled a strategic collaboration with WalletConnect, the connectivity layer for the financial internet. The alliance is designed to speed up the adoption of secure, low-friction onchain payments, while reinforcing dtcpay’s position in building the next generation of onchain financial infrastructure.

The agreement represents a regional milestone for WalletConnect as well: dtcpay becomes its first MPI partner in Asia, underscoring WalletConnect’s role as critical connectivity infrastructure for onchain finance in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets for digital payments and stablecoin adoption.

By integrating WalletConnect’s connectivity stack, dtcpay will:
– Make stablecoin payments broadly accessible across wallets, applications, and ecosystems, with support for USDC, USDT, and WUSD.
– Deliver trusted, embedded checkout experiences for merchants and consumers transacting in stablecoins.
– Expand access to onchain payment rails for enterprises, institutions, and retail users.

The collaboration directly addresses a key barrier highlighted in WalletConnect’s The State of Onchain Payments 2025 report: although payments are rapidly emerging as crypto’s breakout use case, only 10% of respondents currently identify payments as their preferred application, with inefficient user experiences and operational frictions cited as primary blockers. By combining dtcpay’s regulated payments capabilities with WalletConnect’s interoperable connectivity, the partners aim to streamline the end-to-end payment flow—from wallet selection to authorization and settlement—making onchain transactions faster, more intuitive, and enterprise-ready.

Usage trends across the WalletConnect network further underscore the urgency and relevance of this integration. Stablecoins now account for 72% of payments traffic, with USDC at 38% and USDT at 34%, reinforcing
