Driving mainstream adoption
On 4 Feb, the leading provider of Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency payment services, BitPay, announced that the firm would soon allow invoices to be paid from any BTC wallet or exchange.
BitPay CEO Stephen Pair said that because their customers wanted support on all BTC wallets, the firm decided to put control back into the hands of more than 30,000 active merchants on BitPay by re-enabling support for all of them.
Pair also mentioned that they will automate the entire process for merchants, allowing them to take advantage of peer-to-peer transactions without needing technical development or implementation.
This is expected to greatly expand their potential to boost sales and obtain new customers.
