Yuno taps Crypto.com Pay to expand crypto payment options across its network

• Yuno has integrated Crypto.com Pay, enabling merchants on its platform to accept crypto payments from Crypto.com’s 140+ million users.
• The partnership allows payments in multiple cryptocurrencies while shielding merchants from price volatility through seamless settlement.
• Major global brands in Yuno’s network, including McDonald’s, Uber, and GoFundMe, gain access to crypto-enabled checkout via a single API.

Global financial infrastructure platform Yuno has announced a partnership with Crypto.com to integrate its merchant checkout solution across Crypto.com’s network of more than 1,000 payment methods.

The arrangement with Crypto.com Pay is expected to lead to Yuno’s merchant clients being able to accept cryptocurrency payments from over 140 million Crypto.com customers. 

Consumers will be able to use various cryptocurrencies to purchase items from merchants across Yuno’s network, which includes major brands such as McDonald’s, Uber, Rappi, GoFundMe, and NetEase Games.

Bridging traditional and digital payment rails

According to an official release by Crypto.com, the partnership addresses a growing demand for cryptocurrency payment options among both merchants and consumers. 

Over 30% of Americans own crypto, according to recent industry data, and some of them use it for payments. As stablecoins become mainstream, so has the jump in the usage of crypto for payment. 

The global crypto payment apps market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17-18% through 2033.

“Enabling Crypto.com Pay with Yuno accelerates crypto’s path towards mainstream adoption,” said Joe Anzures, executive vice president of payments and general manager for the Americas at Crypto.com. “Our seamless payment rails and robust security framework allow merchants to tap into a new and growing consumer segment without taking on potential cryptocurrency fluctuations.”

Yuno’s platform approach eliminates the need for merchants to integrate multiple payment providers individually. Instead, the single application programming interface connects to over 1,000 payment methods and fraud prevention tools, streamlining operations while reducing technical overhead. 

The addition of Crypto.com Pay extends this capability into the digital currency space, where merchants can accept payments in prominent cryptocurrencies while avoiding direct exposure to price volatility.

Juan Pablo Ortega, CEO and founder of Yuno, emphasized the strategic alignment between the partnership and the company’s mission. “Partnering with Crypto.com to offer crypto payment capabilities aligns perfectly with Yuno’s mission,” he said. “We want to provide innovative and flexible payment solutions to our merchants that decrease operational friction. This partnership enhances the shopping experience for consumers and opens new revenue streams for our merchants.”

Crypto.com and Yuno enter 2026 with big plans

The Yuno partnership follows a series of high-profile integrations for Crypto.com. In January 2026, Stripe announced a partnership with Crypto.com to enable crypto payments that can be converted to local currency for merchants.

In December 2025, it expanded its reach in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through its partnership with e& money, the fintech arm of global technology group e&. 

It reached a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Emirates Coin Investment LLC (“EmCoin”), the UAE’s first virtual asset trading platform licensed by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) to explore new ways of enabling EmCoin users to seamlessly access and trade digital assets. 

Crypto.com has also entered partnerships with platforms like Plaee and High Roller Technologies to deliver prediction market products and technology infrastructure in the US. 

For Crypto.com, the list goes on, as it has inserted itself in many touchpoints that involve crypto and the real-world application of digital assets. 

Yuno announced on January 21, 2026, the launch of its Agentic Commerce platform, stating that the platform’s AI agent could boost revenue for merchants. The company is actively expanding its global footprint after picking London as its European headquarters. It has also established its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore and opened operations in China in September 2025. 

Yuno already partnered with HitPay in November 2025 to expand local payment solutions in the Asia Pacific region.
