According to reports, the e-commerce giant eBay has also announced its entry into this rapidly growing field, stating that it is expected to open up the use of cryptocurrencies as a payment method in the near future. CEO Jason, in an interview, mentioned that the possibility of announcing the addition of cryptocurrencies as a payment method could be announced at an investor conference we are likely to hold. He added, "We have just completed changes in managing payments, and now our platform handles a transaction volume of $85 billion. This enables us to explore a new form of payment."
According to eBay's fourth-quarter report for 2021, the platform generated $10.4 billion in revenue in 2021, with a total of 147 million active buyers globally and 17 million active sellers. It is believed that if eBay does indeed accept digital currency payments, it will bring broader application scenarios for cryptocurrency users.
eBay opened its NFT trading market last year, allowing transactions in fiat currency. As an industry leader, eBay recognized the potential of NFTs as early as May of last year. Through a partnership with the Wax blockchain network, the NFT trading feature on the open platform became the first traditional e-commerce platform to introduce NFTs to the market. Unlike most NFT platforms, NFTs on eBay are priced in fiat currency, and users can pay on the platform through traditional methods such as credit cards and Google Pay. eBay officials initially opened NFT trading by strictly selecting high-rated sellers and stated that they would gradually expand to more projects based on sales performance in the future. |
