Square ermöglicht erste Bitcoin-Zahlung bei US-Kaffeekette – Decrypt

Merchants can convert up to 50% of daily sales into Bitcoin with no processing fees for the first year. While the technology shows promise for global scalability, regulatory challenges and broader ecosystem alignment remain hurdles for widespread adoption.
