The Binance app will be required to be downloaded and installed on the Android or iOS of crypto owners in order to take advantage the payment option. They can then go to Varus to select the products that they wish to purchase and send digital money to Binance Pay.
Forklog reported on the new payment method's announcement in a report. Forklog notes that Binance Pay was first integrated earlier this year by Foxtrot, a Ukrainian chain of electronics and home appliances stores.

Ukraine has been a leader in cryptocurrency adoption over the last few years and has made efforts to regulate it. The popularity of bitcoin and other digital currencies is increasing despite ongoing conflict with Russia.
The government in Kyiv as well as volunteer groups have been active in raising funds via crypto donations to fund humanitarian and defense projects. To help, the crypto community responded. Binance issued a crypto card that was specifically designed for Ukrainian refugees in June.
