By integrating local payment systems from various countries, Gate Pay’s newly launched National Code feature has successfully debuted in Vietnam and Brazil, now supporting more than 17 million merchants across both nations.
Users can now use Gate Pay to directly scan VietQR or Pix QR codes and make everyday purchases with stablecoins like USDT and USDC—no fiat currency conversion required.
01 Connecting Local Payment Networks
The introduction of Gate Pay’s National Code feature marks a significant upgrade to crypto payment infrastructure.
In Vietnam, Gate Pay has partnered with authorized collaborator AEON to integrate the widely used VietQR system, instantly reaching over 2 million local merchants.
In Brazil, Gate Pay has directly incorporated Pix, the instant payment network launched by the Central Bank of Brazil, which has become one of the country’s most mainstream payment methods since its rollout in 2020.
The Pix system covers more than 15 million merchants and 170 million users in Brazil. This means Gate Pay users can pay with cryptocurrency in familiar ways across a variety of scenarios—from coffee shops and restaurants to tuition and utility bills.
02 Seamless Payment Experience
The core advantage of Gate Pay’s National Code feature lies in its frictionless payment experience.
During transactions, the system automatically detects the user’s country and intelligently matches the optimal payment channel and settlement method.
Users don’t need to manually switch settings or convert currencies—simply scan the merchant’s QR code with Gate Pay to complete the payment.
The entire process supports direct use of stablecoins like USDT and USDC, eliminating the need for fiat conversion and extra fees.
Leveraging Gate’s years of expertise in security and risk management, Gate Pay ensures transparent and reliable payments through end-to-end encryption and real-time risk monitoring.
03 Strategic Vision for the Future
This innovative feature is a key step in Gate’s "All in Web3" strategy.
Gate is committed to bringing the real-world value of blockchain technology into daily life worldwide by bridging local payment infrastructure and making crypto payments part of everyday routines.
Gate has stated that Gate Pay will continue expanding National Code support to cover more emerging markets and major economies, while also planning to introduce compatibility with more stablecoins and leading blockchains.
This initiative aims to help build a unified global Web3 payment network, driving deeper integration of digital assets into the mainstream.
04 Expanding the Global Payment Map
Beyond the National Code feature, Gate is also advancing its global footprint in digital payments.
In mid-October, Gate partnered with Alipay+ and Philippine fintech pioneer GCash to launch the innovative "Tap to Pay" service worldwide.
This service enables GCash users to make contactless transactions using NFC-enabled Android devices at over 150 million Gate-affiliated locations across the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and more.
This collaboration comes at a time of resurgent cross-border travel and accelerated digital adoption, with Gate expecting increased transaction volumes in retail, travel, and hospitality sectors.
By Q2 2025, the platform’s cross-border transaction volume—measured in local currency—had grown 14% year-over-year, while net income from its payment network rose 12% over the same period.
05 Future Development and Outlook
Gate Pay’s evolution doesn’t stop with the National Code feature.
According to official announcements, Gate Pay is continuously expanding its supported cryptocurrencies and plans to support over 300 digital assets by the end of Q4.
This will offer global users and merchants more diverse and flexible payment options, further driving the adoption of crypto payments.
Founded in 2013, Gate now serves over 43 million users and supports trading for more than 3,600 crypto assets.
As an industry leader, Gate pioneered 100% proof of reserves, and its ecosystem now includes diversified services such as Gate Wallet and Gate Ventures.
Looking Ahead
As of Q2 2025, Gate’s platform saw a 14% year-over-year increase in cross-border transaction volume (in local currency), and a 12% rise in net income from its payment network. Gate’s market capitalization continues to outperform the industry average, achieving 12% growth compared to the sector’s 4%.
Looking forward, Gate Pay will keep expanding National Code support to reach more emerging markets and major economies. Ultimately, cryptocurrency will move beyond being just an investment symbol and become a payment bridge connecting traditional finance with the decentralized world.
