If this is what OP talking about, then this is not a news. These are just mobile wallets, and as far as I recall these have been around for a while like Apple pay, Samsung pay, Google pay and etc. India's mobile wallet market has also bloomed since the demonization.
Well, the OP is relating these Mobile Wallets to the future if bitcoin is the one being transacted. Just read again the post of the OP, I think you are misunderstanding the OP's post.
And I think it is a news since little by little, fiat are being replaced by these mobile wallets especially in China where they state the term "Cash is already pretty much dead".
