Ever tried paying for coffee with Bitcoin? Yeah, it’s usually a nightmare. Most places either don’t accept it or make you jump through so many hoops that your latte gets cold before you’re done.
But here’s where things get interesting.
SpacePay, this fintech company from London, figured out how to let you pay with crypto using the same card machines that are already everywhere. They work with existing Android payment terminals, support more than 325 crypto wallets, and instantly convert everything to regular money so shop owners don’t freak out about price swings.
Their $SPY token presale has pulled in over $1.1 million so far, with tokens going for $0.003181 each.
We all know that one friend who owns Bitcoin but can never actually spend it anywhere useful. Coffee shops want these customers, but setting up crypto payments usually costs a fortune and requires a computer science degree to figure out.
SpacePay decided to fix this mess. Coffee shop owners can start accepting crypto payments tomorrow using whatever card machine they already have. No expensive upgrades. No confusing setup process. Just a quick software update and they’re ready to go.
For customers, it’s dead simple. Pull out your phone, open your favorite crypto wallet, and pay with Ethereum or whatever you’ve got. Takes about the same time as tapping your credit card. Done.
This opens up a pretty big opportunity. There are more than 400 million people walking around with crypto in their digital wallets. Most of them would love to actually use it for something other than staring at price charts all day.

Anyone who’s owned cryptocurrency knows the drill. You wake up and your Bitcoin is worth 15% less than when you went to bed. Coffee shop owners hate this uncertainty, and honestly, who can blame them?
SpacePay solves this problem in the most straightforward way possible. Customer pays with crypto, SpacePay immediately converts it to dollars or euros or whatever currency the business owner wants. The shop gets regular money. No crypto risk. No sleepless nights worrying about market crashes.
This instant conversion thing is probably why business owners actually want to use SpacePay. They get access to crypto-spending customers without any of the usual drama. Plus, SpacePay only charges 0.5% per transaction, which beats most credit card companies by a mile.
Think about a busy café processing 500 transactions a day. Those fee savings add up fast. More money stays in the business owner’s pocket instead of going to payment processors.
SpacePay runs on their own token called $SPY. Token holders get to vote on platform changes, which is actually pretty cool if you’re into having a say in how things work.
But here’s the part that gets people excited: revenue sharing. As SpacePay processes more transactions, token holders get a cut of the profits. More businesses using SpacePay means more money flowing back to the community.
They also do these monthly airdrops for active users. Plus quarterly video calls where you can actually talk to the SpacePay team and ask questions. It feels less like buying tokens and more like joining a community that’s building something together.
Early access to new features is another perk. $SPY holders get to test stuff before everyone else. If you’re running a business that accepts crypto payments, getting first dibs on new tools could give you an edge over competitors.
SpacePay takes security seriously, which is smart considering how many crypto projects have gone sideways because of hacks. They use proper encryption and spread things across multiple systems instead of putting everything in one place.
Setting up SpacePay looks pretty painless for merchants. Connect your Android payment terminal to their network, update the software, and you’re accepting crypto alongside regular cards. No rocket science required.
The wallet support is solid too. Whether you’re team MetaMask or prefer something else, SpacePay probably works with it. They support the major cryptocurrencies plus stablecoins, so customers have options while merchants still get predictable fiat currency.
SpacePay already has a working product and seems focused on staying compliant with regulations. That’s probably smart given how many crypto companies have run into legal trouble by moving too fast and breaking things.
Any business that takes card payments could potentially use SpacePay. Coffee shops, retail stores, restaurants, you name it. The low barrier to entry means even small businesses can get on board without breaking the bank.
As more merchants join, the whole thing becomes more useful for everyone. More places to spend crypto means more transactions, which means more revenue to share with token holders.
If you want to participate in the $SPY presale, head over to SpacePay’s website and connect your crypto wallet. Tokens are currently priced at $0.003181, and you can pay with various cryptocurrencies or even use a regular bank card if you’re new to the crypto world.
