The influence and impact of cryptocurrencies in the ecommerce space has grown rapidly over the last few years. With more and more reputable brands in the ecommerce industry turning its attention toward cryptocurrencies, as well as the increase in crypto spending, consumers are increasingly willing to spend their coins directly without having to use exchanges or the traditional banking system.

We’ve recently added features to Ultra’s wallet to make topping up UOS easier. We’re excited to announce that it’s now also possible to spend UOS by purchasing products from Amazon, eBay, and Walmart with Shopping.io!

This partnership has long term value for the Ultra community. For one, you won’t need to go through a complex “cashout” operation to spend UOS. This will be particularly useful when, for example, you start earning UOS through trading items and NFTs, watching live streams, and participating in tournaments. You can now use the UOS you’ve earnt to buy tangible goods on the biggest ecommerce sites. You’ll also be able to use a special 2% discount on any items purchased through the site.

Shopping.io’s services are currently being offered to US residents but users that are signed up to the Advanced Plan can get international shipping on any items purchased through the site. As well as their commitment to serving as many people as possible, Shopping.io are dedicated to making their services available globally and are working on reaching those in Europe in the near future.

“Our mission is to develop an open ecosystem where users can win, stake, and earn but also spend UOS on games and NFTs. We want Ultra users to be able to use UOS to buy tangible goods on the largest ecommerce sites such as Walmart, eBay, and Amazon.

Partnering with Shopping.io allows us to do just that, offering added value to the UOS token and encouraging UOS to be a part of token holders’ buying habits.”

Nicolas Gilot, Ultra Co-CEO

“With their impressive partners, we believe that Ultra is a great opportunity for a rapid expansion of Shopping.io services within the games industry.

We see strong evidence to suggest that gamers will see real benefit in spending any amount of their UOS earnings on Amazon, eBay and Walmart!”

Arbel Arif, Shopping.io CEO

Down the line, Shopping.io and the SPI token will be integrated into Ultra. We’ll be sure to update you on this integration as progress is made!
