What it means

People booking hotels through Travala are the first users to see this change, because AI agents can now complete those payments after a user pre-authorizes USDT from a self-custody wallet. Merchants connected to Binance Pay’s payment setup in Japan and Bhutan are also part of the rollout described here.

Compared with before, the payment flow now includes a pre-authorization step for USDT and then an AI agent can finish the transaction on BNB Chain. The hotel-booking use case is the first named example, while the wider merchant network in Japan and Bhutan remains the same category of payment infrastructure being extended.
