Emirates to accept Bitcoin payments and launch NFTs
Over the weekend, Emirates, the largest airline in the United Arab Emirates, announced plans to embrace crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse.
⠀
Emirates will take its first step into the crypto industry by introducing Bitcoin as a payment method in the near future. The company also plans to launch NFT collections to be traded on its websites.
⠀
In a media gathering held at the Arabian Travel Market, Emirates COO Adel Ahmed Al-Redha stated that the airline is hiring new employees to focus on blockchain-related projects such as crypto payments, blockchain tracking, metaverse, and NFTs.
⠀
According to Al-Redha, the airline will use blockchain technology to trace records of aircraft. Additionally, the executive noted Emirates is exploring carrying out operations, training, website sales, and other airline-related experiences in the metaverse:
⠀
“With the metaverse, you will be able to transform your whole processes — whether it is in operation, training, sales on the website, or complete experience — into a metaverse type application, but more importantly making it interactive.”
⠀
This news comes a month after Emirates first revealed its plans to build brand experience in the metaverse and launch utility-based NFTs for customers and employees.
44 countries to meet in El Salvador to discuss Bitcoin
Earlier today Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, announced on Twitter that 44 countries will meet in El Salvador on Monday to discuss Bitcoin adoption.
⠀
"Tomorrow, 32 central banks and 12 financial authorities (44 countries) will meet in El Salvador to discuss financial inclusion, digital economy, banking the unbanked, the Bitcoin rollout and its benefits in our country," Bukele tweeted.
⠀
The central banks and authorities expected to attend are primarily from developing countries, including Nigeria, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Angola, Paraguay, Madagascar, and Guinea.
⠀
In September last year, El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, making the cryptocurrency an accepted means of payment for goods and services.
⠀
Amid the crypto crash on Thursday, the Central American country bought an additional 500 BTC at an average purchase price of about $30,744.
