didn't make much of a fuss out of the news, however – the Coinbase deal was announced only on Twitter and reddit.
The company says its service is available in nearly 400 restaurants across 28 states.
The service is free of charge, so any restaurant that wants to enroll can do so freely, with no contracts.
Level playing field
Menufy develops e-commerce software and custom websites for each of its restaurants. The service is mobile-friendly and allows users to order and pay for food in a few easy steps, even if the restaurant in question doesn't have its own website.
The approach is rather clever, as most small restaurants still don't have their own e-commerce platform, and many don't even have a web presence.
Menufy lets small restaurants sell online without spending a fortune, and, as a result, helps level the playing field with big franchises that can afford to invest in such services.
Room to expand
The news doesn't mean that 400 restaurants have started accepting bitcoin directly, however, as Menufy handles the whole process through Coinbase.
The proprietors might not even be aware that they are accepting bitcoin payments – in the same way most people don't know they're using HTTP when they browse the Internet.
Though the 400 restaurant total sounds impressive, some relatively big states like California and New York are underrepresented.
, however, and Texans tend to love both a nice meal and bitcoin, so it's a match made in heaven, perhaps. Menufy says it is working to extend its reach to other states and expand its portfolio.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
