Rappi initially launched a pilot project in Mexico for the use of crypto assets as a means of payment.
The idea is that Resources are not only included in the easy in-app purchase experience, but also strengthen the security of transactions. Through an alliance with Bitso and Bitpay.
“We examine the crypto world with interest and believe that the future is the intersection of this world with companies that do not exist and facilitate user experiences. At this initial stage, We decided to create a product that allows our consumers to connect their digital wallets and exchange accounts to convert cryptocurrencies into Rappi loans, thereby gaining access to all products on the platform.Sebastián Mejía, Co-Founder and President of Rappi, announced.
According to Mejía, this represents the opportunity for millions of Bitso and Bitpay users to use this solution to make in-app purchases.
With this initial pilot, Rappi users in Mexico will be able to pay with cryptocurrencies for credits that can be spent on any product and service offered by the app, but in the future this may become a viable means of payment or in others.
