Bitcoin just arrived on
Apple Pay —
here's how to use it

Smartphone

With the card and its new Apple Pay integration, customers can instantly convert their cryptocurrency into dollars, which can then be used to pay for anything anywhere that Mastercard debit cards are accepted, which is most places.

Although by far the most prominent, Bitcoin isn’t the only currency supported by BitPay, and customers can use Apple Pay to cash in their Ether, Bitcoin Cash, USD Coin, Gemini Dollar, Paxos Standard and Binance USD.

And while the idea of being able to pay for everyday goods using cryptocurrency is appealing, even with the added convenience of Apple Pay it’s still not as simple as using USD. The dollar, after all, is nowhere near as volatile as Bitcoin.
