BTC.com and Concordium work together to let 75 million wallets around the world make stablecoin payments that are verified by age.
BTC.com, one of the most popular crypto ecosystems in the world, has teamed up with Concordium, a PayFi-focused Layer-1 blockchain that protects privacy while still allowing for compliance. The partnership will bring age-verified stablecoin payments to more than 75 million wallets around the world. This is a large step forward for digital payments that are compliant and respect privacy.
Giving people the power to protect their privacy while still following the rules
The integration will bring Concordium’s ‘1-Click Verify & Pay’ technology directly into the BTC.com Wallet, allowing users to verify critical identity attributes—such as age or jurisdiction—without exposing personal details or relying on centralized ID databases.
Verification will happen off-chain by independent third-party providers, so no personal information will be stored on the blockchain. Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology keeps transactions secure by letting users prove their eligibility without giving away their identity. This way, they can be fully compliant while still keeping their privacy.
“At BTC.com, our focus has always been on empowering people to take control of their finances through self-custody,” said Corbin Fraser, CEO of BTC.com. “As the regulatory landscape evolves, partnerships like this one with Concordium assist bridge the gap between privacy and compliance. By enabling age-verified payments that preserve user anonymity, we’re supporting a maturing crypto industry—one where individuals maintain sovereignty over their data while giving regulators the confidence they need for BTC and crypto to achieve global adoption.”
What Concordium Does: Privacy Meets Utility
Concordium’s “1-Click Verify & Pay” makes payments on the blockchain easier by combining verification and transaction settlement into one step.
Fraser’s comments were echoed by Concordium CEO Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, who said, “Partnering with BTC.com brings our vision to life: secure, verified, reliable, and cheap payments that work for everyone, from individuals to institutions. By combining anonymous verification and payment into one simple step, we are reducing friction for users and merchants alike, enabling a new era of Smart Money worldwide.”
The system lets merchants accept stablecoin payments while also checking that customers are old enough to purchase things like alcohol, games, or adult content. The process doesn’t require complicated setup or ongoing compliance costs like traditional verification systems do. Instead, it offers a decentralized, cost-effective, and privacy-first alternative to centralized identity schemes.
Taking on a global regulatory difficulty
Governments around the world are making rules about digital identity and online securety stricter, which is why the partnership is happening. The Online securety Act requires more than five million age checks to be done every day in the UK alone. Similar programs are also being put in place in other European countries and U.S. states.
Because of this, there has been a huge increase in the need for compliance answers that protect privacy. BTC.com and Concordium’s partnership directly meets this need by letting businesses follow the law without having to collect personal information in a way that is intrusive.
It also promises to assist the $308 billion stablecoin market grow beyond trading ecosystems and into regular e-commerce, where the lack of verified payment infrastructure has been a major difficulty.
Connecting crypto payments to real-world use
The integration of Concordium’s regulatory-ready identity protocol with BTC.com’s huge global reach makes it possible for stablecoin payments to be used by a lot of people for everyday transactions.
Merchants and consumers will soon be able to transact in verified stablecoins—rapidly, privately, and compliantly—in use cases where existing digital payment methods either fail regulatory checks or compromise personal privacy.
The answer also offers a compelling alternative to state-mandated digital ID systems, providing individuals with self-sovereign verification options that align with decentralized finance (DeFi) principles.
