McDonald’s Now Accepts BTC Payments in Lugano
Fast food restaurant chain McDonald’s has started accepting Bitcoin payments in the Swiss city of Lugano.
A video with food ordering through an electronic kiosk and subsequent payment in cryptocurrency through a mobile application has recently been published by Bitcoin Magazine.
On the terminal, in addition to the Bitcoin symbol, there is the logo of the stablecoin Tether (USDT).
The Lugano authorities announced in March they would make BTC, USDT, and the city’s LVGA token “de facto” legal tender in the city. This became known during the Plan ₿ conference with the participation of Mayor Michele Foletti and CTO Tether Paolo Ardoino.
The decision was the development of a joint initiative to turn Lugano into the “European capital of bitcoin”, which the parties announced in February.
