2023-06-21 10:07:19

Acceptance is approaching: popular shopping centers and pharmacies in France already support payments with cryptocurrency. A French real estate firm has struck a partnership deal with a local cryptocurrency provider, signaling that the European nation might be the next to adopt crypto-driven commerce. According to Boursier, Apsys will allow shoppers to pay with crypto at all of its malls. The company operates L’Heure Tranquille shopping center in Tours, Les Rives de l’Orne in Caen, Muse in Metz and Steel in Saint-Étienne. Lyzi, a service provider offering a mobile cryptocurrency payment solution, is involved in the deal, which service is now used by more than 440 merchants in France alone. Customers can use crypto to buy digital gift cards from the Lyzi app, which they can use to pay in the restaurants and shops of the malls. Customers will be encouraged to use crypto with a loyalty point system and cashback bonuses. About 12 months ago, the company announced that the Beaugrenelle Paris shopping center in the French capital would begin accepting crypto-payments in the form of gift cards, which customers can purchase with cryptocurrencies for their own use or that of a gift recipient. Beaugrenelle Paris “Gift cards are valid in all shops and restaurants of the plaza,” the company said. In order to promote such cards, the company raffled off regarding $550 worth of crypto-assets among its customers. Those who pay with crypto are privileged Lyzi has recently made headlines in Belgium: At the beginning of the month, the company entered into a partnership with the Belgian branch of the French fast food chain Black and White Burger. The burger joint accepts 70 different cryptocurrencies, and in addition, everyone who decides to use the option of crypto payments is treated to a special Hambi offer. In addition to shopping centers and restaurants, the pharmaceutical industry also took a dip in the crypto sea this year, and a pharmacy in Paris also started accepting crypto payments. In addition, Burger King branches in Paris also launched mobile phone charging stations accepting cryptocurrency this year. The domestic POS giant Igenico signed an agreement with the French branch of Binance in February.
