Oobit, that spry little payments outfit with a twinkling eye and a knack for cleverness, has announced native support for Phantom, the dashing wallet of the Solana set. In plain English: Solana assets can now be spent at over 80 million Visa-accepting merchants worldwide, as if the world were a bustling general store with a neon “Pay Here” sign. 😎💳
- Oobit has dragged Phantom, that sprightly star of the Solana show, into its native repertoire, letting Solana assets be spent at more than 80 million Visa-adorned merchants around the globe.
- With Oobit’s DePay contraption, you can whip out a one-tap, contactless Tap & Pay from your Phantom wallet, keeping hold of your own purse-no intermediaries invited to the party.
- At checkout, Oobit performs a bit of alchemy, turning supported Solana assets into plain old fiat currency; merchants collect fiat while you saunter away with your crypto balances intact.
As ETH News explains with a raised eyebrow, this stylish alliance ties Solana-based assets to Visa’s grand payment machine, letting cryptocurrency saunter into retail locations. Phantom users will be able to spend digital assets at more than 80 million merchants that accept Visa. 🚶♂️💳
The integration uses Oobit’s DePay solution, enabling one-tap “Tap & Pay” transactions via contactless tech. Transactions settle directly from the user’s wallet, with no middlemen fluttering about at the point of purchase, per the announcement.
Users retain control of funds in their non-custodial Phantom wallet until a transaction is executed, with no need to ferry balances to a centralized exchange or custodial account. At checkout, Oobit automatically converts supported Solana assets-including native tokens and stablecoins-into local fiat currency. Merchants receive fiat settlement, while users transact with cryptocurrency balances. It’s all very tidy and quite the parlour trick. 🪙✨
Oobit’s platform already plays nicely with several major non-custodial wallets, including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Coinbase Wallet. The Phantom integration opens access to one of the most active user bases in crypto, particularly within the Solana crowd.
The Phantom rollout follows Oobit’s international expansion in late 2025. The company recently launched services in the United States through a partnership with Bakkt and expanded operations in Brazil, according to prior announcements.
The whole shebang is part of a broader bid to stitch blockchain networks to established payment rails for retail transactions-a bit of modern matchmaking that would tickle even Bertie Wooster’s fancy. 🤖💼
