You will soon be able to buy a coffee at Starbuck using Bitcoin!
Bakkt, a leading Bitcoin futures trading platform provider to financial institutions and hedge funds recently published on their blog site they are planning to develop an App aimed at regular consumers.
The App will enable settlement and payment of digital assets with a loyalty reward program including, BTC bonus schemes, discounts, premium sales and presents.
Work is in process with the launch of the App targeted in the early half of 2020.
The App can for example be used to purchase coffee at Starbucks outlets in the United States.
Initially, the App will only be compatible with Bitcoin but plans to enable payment with other crypto currencies are in the pipeline.
As their mission, Bakkt aims to create a huge market based on blockchain technology and this recent announcement is seen as a harbinger of things to come.
The consumer-specific App will certainly help raise Bakkt’s profile as a forerunner in the crypto space.
