Bistroo Introduces Support for Crypto Payments
In an announcement made today, blockchain-powered P2P marketplace for food and beverages Bistroo (BIST) stated that its merchants can now accept payments in leading cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH and BNB.
The support for the aforementioned cryptocurrencies offers Bistroo users more options to pay for the platform’s products and services, along with the option to pay with fiat currency and the Bistroo’s native token BIST.
Notably, Bistroo raised more than $8 million in May 2021 and subsequently partnered with Coinpayments to enable BIST token holders to spend the token at any of Coinpayments’ 100,000 merchants in more than 200 countries the world over.
In a bid to foster cryptocurrency adoption, Bistroo currently does not charge commission on all crypto payments to ensure the merchants receive most of their returns while consumers get to enjoy a discount on their order. Further, if a customer chooses to pay with BIST, they get to enjoy a higher discount.
Commenting on the development, Bas Roos, the CEO and co-founder of Bistroo, said:
“Bistroo is on a mission to set ourselves up on the global stage with our unique business model. The future is moving towards a protocol economy where parties can directly interact with each other, and Bistroo is taking the first steps in that direction, offering a better value proposition for the food ordering platform market. Enabling our users to transact in crypto is an integral part of that journey.”
