Tether-backed mobile payments provider Oobit has announced the integration of native support for Phantom, a prominent wallet in the Solana ecosystem. This strategic move allows users to connect their Solana-based assets directly to Visa”s extensive payment framework, facilitating cryptocurrency transactions at retail outlets.
The integration empowers Phantom wallet users to utilize their digital assets at over 80 million merchants globally that accept Visa, according to the company”s official statement. This initiative leverages Oobit”s innovative DePay solution, which enables contactless “Tap & Pay” transactions, allowing for seamless payments directly from users” wallets without the need for intermediaries during the checkout process.
Moreover, users maintain complete control over their funds in the non-custodial Phantom wallet, as there is no requirement to transfer their balances to centralized exchanges or custodial accounts. At the point of sale, Oobit automatically converts supported Solana assets—including native tokens and stablecoins—into the local fiat currency, ensuring that merchants receive fiat settlements while users transact using their cryptocurrency balances.
This integration marks a significant milestone as Oobit continues to expand its platform, which already supports various major non-custodial wallets, including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Coinbase Wallet. With the addition of Phantom, Oobit taps into one of the most active user bases in the cryptocurrency sector, particularly within the Solana community.
The rollout of Phantom wallet support follows Oobit”s recent international expansion, which began in late 2025. The company has launched its services in the United States through a partnership with Bakkt and has also expanded its operations in Brazil, as previously reported.
This integration exemplifies Oobit”s ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between blockchain networks and established payment infrastructures, facilitating retail transactions in the evolving landscape of digital currencies.
