Spar Partners with Binance Pay and DFX.swiss for In-Store Crypto Payments

SPAR Switzerland teams up with Binance Pay and DFX.swiss to offer gas-free crypto payments in over 100 stores, aiming to expand to more than 300 locations.

Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by multiple independent news sources (ainvest.com, cryptowisser.com, financefeeds.com, bitcoinnews.ch) and is directly confirmed by one of the named partners, DFX.swiss, on its official X account. The evidence also includes a quote from the Managing Director of SPAR Switzerland acknowledging the partnership. While there is a discrepancy across sources regarding the number of participating stores (some state 100, others 300), the core claim of a partnership between Spar, Binance Pay, and DFX.swiss is well-corroborated.
