Lots of people use wallets to interact with defi, but I'm not sure if that would count as a 'payment' in the EU.

Offline storage of private keys is one thing. If you want offramp crypto for FIAT you send it too a centrale exchange which has a KYC process (so not anonymous) from the wallet. The mantra "not your keys, not your coins" is related to this.
