Once the move is finalized in July, OTR will become the largest bricks-and-mortar retailer in Australia to accept digital currencies as a payment method.

In addition to this breakthrough, OTR’s parent company- Peregrine corporation- will also support crypto settlements at its Subway6, Oporto, and Smokemart stores. As said by the Peregrine Executive chairman.

“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.”

CryptoCom’s Asia Pacific General Manager – Karl Mohan – said the partnership will “make further inroads in accelerating Australia’s adoption of cryptocurrency.” “Customers will now be able to pay for goods and services via CryptoCom Merchant Pay at all OTR stores,” he explained

Australian displays interest in crypto

Recently all whole Australians have displayed some unbelievable interest in the cryptocurrency industry. At the end of 2021, federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg proposed implementing a “crypto-asset reform plan” that could place the nation among the global leaders in the digital asset sector.

The legislation is also expected to improve customer protection and strengthen Australia’s financial system. According to Frydenberg, crypto exchanges should have the same regulations as banks since they hold “significant sums of people’s money and investments.

In addition to that, the Australian financial services minister – Jane Hume –  claimed that digital assets are not a “fad.” On the contrary, she opined that bitcoin and the altcoins have grown rather rapidly over the years and have “captured the hearts and minds” of Aussies.

Hume had a little touch on Decentralised Finance (DeFi), too. She predicted that it will present incredible opportunities in the future and she added that Australia must not be left behind by far of the unknown, she concluded.
