Gucci serves the needs of its crypto-audiences
With the rapid adoption of cryptocurrency all over the globe, it is expected that Gucci, the luxury high-end brand which is currently valued at over $15 billion, will see a handful of crypto-based customers. Noting that it is “tapping into the crypto crowd,” Gucci is set to serve its consumers who use cryptocurrencies, in some of its U.S. based stores, by the end of May.
VogueBusiness breakdowns the payment process that customers should expect, saying “
“In-store crypto payments will be made with a link sent via email to the customer; the link contains a QR code that allows them to execute the payment from their crypto wallet.”
The big city of New York, particularly Wooster Street, will be home to one of the crypto-focused Gucci stores. Others includes the Miami Design District, Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles, shops situated in Crystals, in Las Vegas, as well as Phipps Plaza in Atlanta.
Customers will have the option to make use of a wide variety of cryptocurrencies, as over 10 cryptocurrencies will be accepted by Gucci.
Asides from the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin, altcoins such as Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash and Wrapped Bitcoin will be accepted at the shops. Five other stablecoins also make up the list. The popular memecoins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu were also not left out.
In a recent statement, Gucci’s CEO Марко Биззарри, noted the company’s interest in adopting cryptocurrencies.
He’s quoted saying: “Gucci is always looking to embrace new technologies when they can provide an enhanced experience for our customers, now that we are able to integrate cryptocurrencies within our payment system, it is a natural evolution for those customers who would like to have this option available to them.”
