Tether-backed mobile payments application Oobit announced native support for Phantom, a leading wallet in the Solana ecosystem.
Summary
- Oobit has added native support for Phantom, a leading wallet in the Solana ecosystem, enabling Solana-based assets to be spent at over 80 million Visa-accepting merchants worldwide.
- Using Oobit’s DePay solution, users can make one-tap contactless payments directly from their Phantom wallet without intermediaries, retaining full control of their funds.
- Oobit converts supported Solana assets into fiat currency at checkout, while merchants receive fiat payments.
According to ETH News, the integration connects Solana-based assets to Visa’s global payment infrastructure, enabling cryptocurrency transactions at retail locations. The update allows Phantom users to spend digital assets at more than 80 million merchants worldwide that accept Visa, the company said.
The integration utilizes Oobit’s DePay solution, which enables one-tap “Tap & Pay” transactions using contactless payment technology. Transactions settle directly from the user’s wallet without intermediaries at the point of purchase, according to the announcement.
Users retain control of funds in their non-custodial Phantom wallet until a transaction is executed, with no requirement to transfer balances to a centralized exchange or custodial account. At checkout, Oobit automatically converts supported Solana assets, including native tokens and stablecoins, into local fiat currency. Merchants receive fiat settlement, while users transact with cryptocurrency balances.
Oobit’s platform already supports several major non-custodial wallets, including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Coinbase Wallet. The Phantom integration provides access to one of the most active user bases in the cryptocurrency sector, particularly within the Solana ecosystem.
The Phantom rollout follows Oobit’s international expansion in late 2025. The company recently launched services in the United States through a partnership with Bakkt and expanded operations in Brazil, according to previous announcements.
The integration represents efforts to connect blockchain networks with established payment infrastructure for retail transactions.
