With the new addition, BitTorrent now features six crypto payment options on its platform.
Binance’s BUSD joins the list of already supported cryptocurrencies including: Bitcoin (BTC) BitTorrent’s utility token (BTT) Okex’s (OCB) TRX BNB
Along with the BUSD addition, BitTorrent and µTorrent have also replaced the ERC-20 BNB token with the faster and more liquid BNB (BEP2) as a payment option.
BEP2 is expected to improve the experience for BNB users when subscribing to Classic Pro.
The development is a result of Binance and CoinPayments.net collaboration announced in May 2020.
As a part of the announcement, BitTorrent is offering upto 25% off all crypto-based Pro purchases.
BUSD is apparently the first stablecoin featured on BitTorrent for payments.
Samuel Lim, chief compliance officer at Binance , highlighted that BUSD token is regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS):
“We are thrilled to work with BitTorrent to offer BUSD, a NYDFS regulated stablecoin as one of the main payment options for purchasing Classic Pro […] Holding stable value and built for convenient global transfers, stablecoins like BUSD will become the preferred choice of payments in the near future.”
