Walmart's OnePay Loads Up the Crypto Cart with SUI, Polygon and Arbitrum

Walmart-backed OnePay is getting serious about crypto, adding more than a dozen tokens to its offerings that meet what the exec calls a "high bar" set by customers. The retail giant's fintech arm just dropped SUI, Polygon (POL) and Arbitrum (ARB) on Thursday — essentially tossing more altcoins into the shopping cart alongside the Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) it launched with back in January. But wait, there's more: they also snuck in another 10 tokens just days earlier, including Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and PAX Gold (PAXG). Someone at OnePay clearly decided that "high bar" meant "high token count."

"We're less focused on chasing the latest asset and more focused on offering a curated set of assets that align with how our customers actually use and think about their money," Ron Rojany, OnePay's general manager of Core App & Crypto, told Cointelegraph. Translation: they're not trying to list every random coin with a dog mascot and a roadmap written on a napkin. Instead, it's the "respectable" lineup — the kind of assets your dad would nod approvingly at before asking if you still need help with your taxes.

Rojany wouldn't share adoption numbers, but said the fintech is seeing "strong engagement" especially among customers "newer to crypto" looking for an easy, integrated way to get started. These are the ones who haven't yet experienced the emotional rollercoaster of checking their portfolio at 3 a.m. after a 20% dip. They're getting in through the Walmart app, presumably right next to grocery pickup and the $4 prescription glasses. Convenient,
