## Source summary

Blockonomi reports that eligible overseas Binance Pay users visiting Japan can pay at supported PayPay merchants through HIVEX using more than 100 crypto assets. Binance says settlement uses USDT and merchants receive yen without holding crypto. This concerns visitor payments, not availability for all Japanese residents or every PayPay merchant.

## Why it matters

The integration connects a visitor wallet to local merchant acceptance while separating crypto funding from merchant yen receipts.
