Brisbane Airport (BNE) will, in the coming future, be the first cryptocurrency airport terminal. This is according to the information from the local media. The management of the airport is currently working with both the international and the local companies and institutions to make sure that the terminal has been transformed into a cryptocurrency friendly one. The terminal will have various features such as coffee shops, stores and also restaurants which accept Dash, Bitcoin, and Ether.
This move to include digital currencies in the airport makes a lot of sense in the airport set up. This is even as the number of investors and traders increase. The following statement was spoken by Roel Hellemons who’s the general manager of the strategic planning and development;
“Many people around the world have made money investing in cryptocurrencies, and a lot of these people travel internationally, so it makes sense to offer a digital currency experience within our terminals.”
The airport has made the decisions to majorly partner with TravelbyBit, which is a cryptocurrency based payment system. This will make sure and enable the travelers to have the capability of buying digitally.
The move brings forth Australia’s improving and growing adoption of cryptocurrencies and the digital payment systems. This is in spite of the presence of the negative aspects and perspectives of the other countries in the world. This happens even with the current ban on cryptocurrency trading in China and South Korea. Therefore, Australia’s openness is geared towards welcoming change and offering a good environment for the crypto investors.
