Car owners in Russia will soon be able to buy fuel for Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital currencies. The gas stations of the company “Nordgaz Trading” will be the first in the country to give citizens such a right.
It clarifies the portal "Driving Kuban" , "Nordgaz Trading" has already signed a partnership agreement with the company Fin Foundation, which has experience in building a system of payment for fuel in virtual currencies. Previously, she launched a platform to pay for gasoline and other fuels at South Korean petrol stations.
Experts believe that if Nordgaz Trading starts accepting digital assets for payment, the company will be able to become an influential player in the Russian fuel market. Behind the cryptocurrency is the future, and most experts agree with this point of view.
The giants Rosneft and Lukoil risk losing some customers, many of whom not only know about digital money, but also use it as payment instruments.
However, the company Nordgaz Trading is not going to completely refuse to accept fiat money. Its management is confident that despite the massive introduction of Bitcoin and other tokens in Russia, classical money still remains the leading means of payment.
Proof of the growing interest of citizens in cryptocurrency is the fact that Russia is already in the list of leaders in the number of monthly visits to the websites of cryptocurrency platforms.
