Ferrari Luxury Cars Speed into the Crypto Lane!

Ferrari Embraces Cryptocurrency U.S. Payments Now Accepted, Per Reuters

Ferrari to accept crypto payments in US Reuters

Get ready to buckle up, because Ferrari just hit the accelerator on the crypto highway! According to a rip-roaring report by Reuters, the famous Italian sports car manufacturer is revving its engines to accept cryptocurrency as a payment method in the U.S. Whoa!

But that’s not the end of the race. Ferrari’s Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer, Enrico Galliera, revealed that they plan to expand this exhilarating scheme to Europe in response to the roaring demand from their wealthy customers. Vroom vroom!

To handle all the crypto horsepower, Ferrari has chosen BitPay as its crypto payments provider. BitPay will kick-start the frenzy by processing transactions in bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), and the stablecoin USD coin (USDC). Talk about riding the crypto wave!

Galliera explained that Ferrari’s decision was driven by the diverse group of investors in their client base. “Some of our clients are young investors who have built their fortunes around cryptocurrencies,” he shared, adding, “Some others are more traditional investors, who want to diversify their portfolios.” So, whether you’re a crypto cowpoke or a traditional tycoon, Ferrari has got you covered!

But wait, hold your horses! While crypto is galloping ahead as an investment tool, accepting it as a payment method is still a rarity among major companies. In fact, only a few months after Tesla started accepting bitcoin payments, they stomped on the brakes and put the pedal to the metal in the opposite direction, citing environmental concerns over the electricity usage involved in bitcoin mining. Yikes!

CoinDesk reached out to both Ferrari and BitPay for a comment, but they were a bit too quick for us to catch up. We’ll just have to wait and see what they have to say about this turbo-charged maneuver.

So, digital asset enthusiasts, hitch a ride with Ferrari and join the fast and furious crypto journey in style! Buckle up, because it’s going to be one wild ride!
