2019-05-13 | Whole Foods, Home Depot, Among Stores Now Taking Bitcoin | Fortune

' But, given the history of crypto payments, this week’s announcement feels like a breakthrough. '

'Spalding, who is a veteran of the gift card exchange service Raise, added that crypto payments also offer stores a way to experiment with new types of blockchain-based customer rewards. '

'Fortune contacted six of the retailers participating in the Flexa service, including Whole Foods, and none of them provided a comment. '

'The retail initiative comes via a partnership between Flexa, a payments startup, and Gemini, the Winklevoss-owned digital currency company. '

'The Spedn app lets users spend four types of crypto: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and a so-called stablecoin called a Gemini Dollar, which is pegged to the value of one U.S. dollar and backed by banking giant State Street. '
