Binance has integrated the Coinbase-backed x402 protocol into its wallet, marking a major step in bridging decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional web payments. The x402 protocol enables seamless micropayments over HTTP without requiring accounts, API keys, or subscriptions, and settles transactions almost instantly. Through the Binance Wallet, users can now access the x402 list — a curated collection of tokens compatible with the protocol — and trade them directly within the wallet. While the integration simplifies payments and broadens token accessibility, it has sparked some criticism from the community over the listing of certain tokens.
