How Crypto Is Becoming More Applicable In The Real World

2021-8-22 21:00

As per usual, crypto has been going through a fair amount of scrutiny. Whether it be the questioning the function of NFTs, concern over recent legislation in Congress, or uncertainty in crypto in general, a collection of major companies are singing a different tune.

Ever since Tesla’s redacted customers’ ability to buy Tesla vehicles using crypto, many have wondered about the continued potential application of crypto in the marketplace. Despite this, many more major corporations have picked up the banner that Tesla dropped. It is hard to say what the future may hold for crypto, but with recent adaptation in the marketplace, the emerging technology’s application becomes evermore apparent.

Scandinavia’s largest airline, and Europe’s third largest plans on using crypto for payments of future flights.

8. ExpressVPN

Emerging as one of the larger VPN service providers, ExpressVPN also makes its way easily onto the list. With many crypto investors using their service, ExpressVPN allows for payments via Bitcoin.
