Dash has partnered with AEON to enable crypto payments across tens of millions of merchants worldwide through AEON Pay.
AEON operates as a payment and settlement layer for the AI economy, connecting AI agents with real-world merchants for autonomous crypto transactions.
AEON Pay has already processed nearly one million transactions worth more than $29 million across around 50 million merchants in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
The integration allows users to make both online and offline payments with Dash for dining, retail, and services at checkout points.
Dash users can now access over 50 million offline merchants in regions including Southeast Asia, Nigeria, Mexico, Brazil, Georgia, and Peru.
Merchants receive settlements in local fiat currency, while users pay by scanning QR codes with supported crypto wallets.
AEON Pay is available through its Telegram Mini App and wallets such as Bitget Wallet, Binance Wallet, and OKX Wallet.
Dash developers are also exploring integration with the native DashPay wallet to further streamline user access.
The partnership is positioned as a major step in Dash’s strategy to achieve worldwide mass adoption as a payment-focused digital currency.
