Convenience Store OTR Accepts Crypto Payments in 170 Company Locations in South Australian

Convenience Store OTR’s Dive in Crypto

According to The Australian, OTR will allow users to pay for gas, goods, and services in digital currencies in 170 South Australian company locations. The convenience store recently expanded its operations to Victoria. However, it is unknown whether these will also accept cryptocurrency payments. When the change is finalized in July, OTR will be Australia’s largest brick-and-mortar retailer to accept digital currencies as a payment mechanism.

Furthermore, the company’s parent company, Peregrine Corporation, will accept cryptocurrency payments at its Subway, Oporto, and Smokemart stores. Yasser Shahin, Peregrine’s Executive Chairman, responded to the situation:

“The growth and mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency adoption in Australia and the rest of the world has been phenomenal, and has offered us a clear opportunity to tap into the momentum of this fast-growing space for the benefit of our customers.”

Karl Mohan, Asia Pacific General Manager at CryptoCom, stated that the collaboration will “make more advances in increasing Australia’s adoption of cryptocurrency.” “Customers will now be able to pay for goods and services at all OTR stores using CryptoCom Merchant Pay,” he stated.

Australia Is Focusing on Crypto

Recently, Australia has shown a lot of interest in the crypto space. Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg proposed adopting a “crypto-asset reform plan” at the end of 2021, which may place the country among the world leaders in the digital asset sector.

The bill is also expected to enhance Australia’s financial system and boost client protection. Crypto exchanges, according to Frydenberg, should be subject to the same laws as banks because they contain “large sums of people’s money and investments.”

According to it, Jane Hume, the Australian Finance Minister, stated that digital assets are not a “fad.” On the contrary, she believes that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have risen significantly over the years and have “caught the hearts and minds” of Australians. Hume also mentioned Decentralized Finance (DeFi). She predicts that in the future, it will “offer enormous opportunities.” “Australia must not be left in the dust by the unknown,” she added.
