GoCrypto marks a record 1000 locations in its home country, Slovenia! Less than two years in existence, we boast quite a few unique achievements at a global level.

This includes the contribution to the creation of the first Bitcoin City™ in the world, and to Slovenia taking the global lead as the country with the highest number of physical locations accepting cryptocurrencies and the country where you can just use your crypto wallet when getting around your daily life.

GoCrypto is available in 13 countries, and is establishing itself as the world’s quickest growing crypto payment scheme, connecting crypto users and business actors from the crypto sphere with mainstream payment/cashier solution providers and merchants in order to further the advantages of cryptocurrencies in daily life.

From the first Bitcoin City™ to crypto Slovenia

The first version of GoCrypto was tested at BTC City, one of Europe’s biggest business, logistics and shopping centres — with 21 million visitors a year. Miha Mermal, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer at the BTC company, states: “The development of the GoCrypto system takes place together with the development of BTC City Ljubljana into an innovative and digital city, which has also been recognized by the international public. The BTC company thus follows its mission as a state-of-the-art company open to new technologies.

A record number of physical locations and more than 150.000 products that can be bought through GoCrypto.

Among the 1000 GoCrypto locations in Slovenia, you can choose from numerous cafés, restaurants, taxis, mechanics, dentists, hair salons, hotels and various sports facilities. This includes the Tuš supermarkets, Slovenia’s biggest electronic seller Big Bang, Atlantis Water Park and Burger King Slovenia — the world’s first physical location of this chain enabling crypto payments.

Joining GoCrypto as the 1000th location is WOOP!, offering WOOP! Karting, one of the most modern karting centres in Europe, and WOOP! Trampolin park, the largest of its kind in Slovenia. General Manager of the TPLJ company, Miran Razoršek, says: “This is an additional step towards providing the superb user experience that we strive to offer. In this way, we enable quick, easy and secure transactions. We also intend to extend the advantages of Bitcoin City™ to our new location, WOOP! ARENA. In October, we will be the first in Slovenia offering a completely new experience of bowling, escape rooms, virtual reality and the LASER TAG arena on 5,000 m2.”

What’s next: Growing into the global GoCrypto payment scheme

Available in 13 countries so far (10 in the EU and 3 in South America), GoCrypto is establishing itself as the world’s quickest growing crypto payment scheme.

Eligma CEO Dejan Roljić explains: “Reaching 1000 locations in Slovenia is an important milestone for the GoCrypto system on a global scale. Thanks to GoCrypto, Slovenia is the world’s leading country in the number of physical locations that accept cryptocurrencies. With GoCrypto, we are breaking new technological ground because the mission of GoCrypto technology is fast and simple use for both the merchant and the customer. We are extremely pleased that the system is well-received both locally and internationally, and we expect it to expand to many more countries in the future. The GoCrypto payment scheme does not only unite merchants and customers who want to offer or use this payment option. It also includes cryptocurrencies and exchanges that want their applications to enter the mainstream as well as cashier and payment solution providers and other actors that aim to enrich their offer with next-generation payments.”
