VENEZUELAN AIRPORT WILL SOON ACCEPT BITCOIN AS A PAYMENT METHOD
The Simón Bolívar International Airport, which is one of the major international airports in the country, is officially making preparations for the Bitcoin adoption as a mode of payment. Other cryptocurrencies will include DASH and Venezuela’s crypto token – petro – all only for airport services.
News about airport getting interested in such innovation were reported earlier this year by local news broadcasting company, El Siglo.
Freddy Borges, the director of the airport, stated that Venezuelans should not be the last to take advantage of these alternative payment options.
Additionally, airport administrators are working on applying more payment methods in collaboration with the country’s National Superintendence of Crypto Asset and Related Activities.
Meanwhile, Venezuela is developing and testing its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), a crypto asset pegged to its national currency.
