Walmart's fintech subsidiary OnePay is making a bold move into crypto. The platform is now introducing Bitcoin and Ethereum trading capabilities, alongside custody solutions and conversion features for users.

This rollout marks a significant step in mainstream crypto adoption, with one of the world's largest retailers bringing digital assets directly to its financial infrastructure. The integration signals growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin and Ethereum as legitimate financial products.

With OnePay now supporting BTC and ETH transactions, customers gain direct access to major cryptocurrencies through a trusted retail brand. The addition of custody and conversion functionalities suggests a comprehensive approach to crypto integration, not just speculative trading but functional asset management.

This development reflects a broader trend: traditional finance and retail giants are no longer sitting on the sidelines of the crypto market.

Walmart has entered the market now, and this time institutions are really starting to take it seriously, unlike before when they only offered verbal support.

Walmart is in, does this mean Bitcoin is really about to take off? --- OnePay is doing custodial services? Wait, this isn't really a typical pump-and-dump scheme... --- Wow, traditional giants are finally getting restless. It should have been like this a long time ago. --- It's just a payment feature, nothing major... Still depends on how Ethereum develops next. --- Damn, if this is true, does Coinbase still have a future? --- Grandpa Walmart is also starting to play with digital assets. Even my mom can buy BTC now, which is quite something. --- Another story of mainstream acceptance, but the big players have probably been lurking for a long time. --- Is this what they call "comprehensive crypto integration"? Sounds great, but essentially they just want to trap users' funds.

Walmart's move is really brilliant; traditional giants have finally woken up. Damn, it should have been like this all along. The entry of retail giants is more effective than anything else. OnePay directly competes with BTC and ETH, now institutional confidence is truly different. Wait, can we lower the gas fees first? Really, this is what adoption should look like.

Walmart has arrived, and traditional finance is really panicking... But don't celebrate too early, let's see how things develop later.

Walmart getting into crypto is definitely the trend... But honestly, everyone entering now is just trying to grab a share; no one wants to be left behind.
