Xiaomi Starts Accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum and Other Cryptocurrencies in Portugal


While Amazon recently shut down rumors about accepting cryptocurrencies, Xiaomi picked up the slack. Mi Store Portugal, the official retailer of the Chinese tech behemoth, recently moved to enable cryptocurrency payments.

It is now possible to buy smartphones, vacuum cleaners, smartwatches, electric scooters and other Xiaomi devices with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and Dash.

It is not surprising that Xiaomi has picked Portugal as a testbed for digital asset payments given that it is considered to be the most crypto-friendly nation in Europe because of its tax policy. Samsung, the leader in the smartphone market, debuted a blockchain wallet in early 2019, but its stores are yet to embrace crypto.
