KuCoin Pay & Umy Disrupt Travel: Crypto Payments Take Flight in 2025

Forget fiat—your next vacation could be paid in Bitcoin. KuCoin Pay's partnership with travel platform Umy signals crypto's next frontier: a $9.2 trillion industry ripe for disruption.

The move bypasses traditional payment rails, slashing cross-border fees for flights, hotels, and experiences. No more 3% credit card gouges—just near-instant settlements on-chain.

Umy's 5M+ users gain access to crypto payments via KuCoin's liquidity pool. Think stablecoins for beach villas, ETH for ski chalets. Even legacy airlines are reportedly 'exploring options'—though we'll believe it when we see their NFT boarding passes.

Bullish on adoption? Sure. But let's see if crypto tourists still HODL when their ETH-funded resort demands a 50% surcharge during the next market dip.
