This will be the first Tap-to-Pay payment solution on the Kaia network.
Oobit launches the first Kaia-based Tap-to-Pay payment feature and online payment functionality.
Users in South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines can make seamless purchases using native Kaia USDT and $KAIA through Visa terminals without switching to other applications.
Klip and Kaia Wallet will roll out this feature in the coming days and weeks.
The Kaia DLT Foundation (Kaia) has partnered with the digital asset payment gateway infrastructure application Oobit to launch the Kaia-based Tap-to-Pay payment feature and online payment functionality. This will be the first Tap-to-Pay payment solution on the Kaia network. Users in South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines will soon be able to make seamless purchases using USDT and $KAIA on the Kaia network without switching to other applications.
Importantly, because transactions run seamlessly through existing Visa terminals, merchants do not need to replace their current POS systems or register on additional platforms. This means everything remains the same for merchants: no new hardware, extra contracts, or training required.
This feature supports all wallets based on Kaia, including Klip and Kaia Wallet. Users can make payments within the native interface of the wallet. The Klip wallet integration will be launched in the coming days, while the Kaia wallet integration will follow in the coming weeks.
Oobit's application uses NFC technology to enable Tap-to-Pay payments in physical stores using Visa's POS systems, providing a seamless cryptocurrency payment experience and reducing the usage threshold for users. The key to this technology is that it simplifies operations for both merchants and users. Merchants receive transactions in fiat currency, while the conversion between cryptocurrency and fiat currency occurs in real-time in the background.
While Oobit is known for its Tap-to-Pay feature, the platform has also expanded its online payment functionality, providing users with a comprehensive solution that covers both physical stores and online cryptocurrency transactions.
“I am pleased that Kaia users can utilize digital assets on Kaia within the vast Visa and online payment network through Oobit's tap-to-pay application,” said Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of the Kaia DLT Foundation. “Kaia will work with Oobit to pioneer a hybrid payment space driven by digital assets, serving as many consumers as possible and bringing more diverse asset options.”
“Oobit CEO Amram Adar stated, ‘Cryptocurrency payments must be as simple as swiping a card or tapping a phone, and now it has all been realized. Starting from Asia's most active cryptocurrency market, we are bringing a low-threshold way for millions of users to use digital assets in their daily lives by natively embedding the Kaia wallet into the cryptocurrency payment experience.’
With the recent collaboration with Tether, USDT has officially integrated into the LINE ecosystem, which has over 196 million users. Users can conveniently use USDT for payments, peer-to-peer transfers, and DeFi services within the LINE app through Mini Dapp. This move allows stablecoins to officially enter users' daily transaction experiences through one of Asia's largest digital ecosystems.
Tether supports Oobit in promoting cryptocurrency into everyday use cases in Asia. Countries like South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan are key markets driving growth. Oobit is currently working to achieve this goal in more countries and markets across the Asia-Pacific region. As a blockchain centered in Asia, Kaia has become an indispensable part of Oobit's growth in the Asia-Pacific. Kaia is rapidly growing—averaging 13.6 million transactions per week, with over 6 million users joining just in July 2025.
Similarly, the native support of Klip will help Oobit's infrastructure achieve plug-and-play across Asia, which is a key strategic move, as data from Binance shows that 25% of South Koreans aged 20 to 50 own cryptocurrency assets.
