Is the future that we make a payment with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency within WhatsApp? It appears so.
Send a little bit. And of course you send the tikkie via WhatsApp. Because that’s the most common way. In the meantime, other banks have also adopted the Tikkie principle. But what if you don’t need a bank at all to make payments between themselves? This idea is emerging with a new pilot of WhatsApp, which is to pay with cryptocurrency.
WhatsApp cryptocurrency
WhatsApp does not choose to integrate Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency in the application. Instead, the messaging service has partnered with Novi. A cookie of its own, because Novi is a digital wallet from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp. Everything in-house, you probably understand.
Payments are made via the stablecoin Pax Dollars (USDP), linked to the US dollar. WhatsApp is currently piloting the cryptocurrency feature in the United States with a select number of users. So on a relatively small scale.
Nice for the United States, but the question is whether this concept would also work in the Netherlands. We have become so used to Tikkie and banks that also support the concept. But what is not can still come. Who knows. (through WABetainfo)
