Top Blockchain Projects gather together with SK Jewellery, the largest Jewellery chain in Singapore, to push for mass adoption of cryptocurrency
Released by Bizkey Network Pte Ltd, 18 Jan 2019
Top blockchain projects gathered at SK Jewellery headquarters this Friday afternoon and signed an MOU for a campaign to boost cryptocurrency payment at retail level.
SK Jewellery, the largest jewellery retail chain in Singapore, announced today a new ‘Token Day’ campaign that will allow customers to make payment with cryptocurrency at SK’s new location in Marina Bay Sands Hotel from January 21st to 27th. This campaign coincides with Binance Blockchain Week, a special hackathon event followed by a blockchain conference sponsored by Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Facilitating the blockchain transactions is Bizkey, a crypto payment solution provider, best known for recently powering Singapore’s first auto purchase with Ethereum, and last year’s ‘Token Day’ campaign which enabled crypto payment at 30 retailers in Singapore’s Chinatown.
“We see this as a significant moment in blockchain integration”, says Ken Huang, CEO of Bizkey. “Previously it was difficult to convince merchants of the need to accept crypto, but bigger retailers like SK are coming forward and asking for this payment solution, which really signals mainstream adoption.”
Bizkey brings together well-known partners in crypto space to enable this campaign. “By bringing these partners together, we wish to set a new benchmark for crypto payment in the retail space. We believe that collaboration is key in pushing crypto payment for the industry” Ken noted.
