PANews reported on December 8th that Oobit, a Tether-backed crypto payment app, has officially entered the US market and partnered with Bakkt for compliant operations, covering all 50 states. Users can make "tap-to-pay" transactions through non-custodial wallets such as Base, Binance, and Phantom, while merchants instantly receive fiat currency settlements through the Visa network. This expansion is Oobit's largest since its $25 million Series A funding round in 2024.
