Ferrari Shifts Gears with New Cryptoasset Payment Feature
Ferrari is now offering its clientele the option to purchase their luxury sports cars with digital currencies. This decision signifies a shift in the automotive industry, a clear indicator of the growing acceptance and utility of cryptoassets.
Ferrari's decision to embrace cryptoasset payments in the United States has generated a lot of excitement and keen interest from cryptoasset enthusiasts, and there are plans to extend to Europe shortly.
XEROF’s Response to Ferrari’s New Cryptoasset Payment Feature
Marc Taverner, CEO of XEROF, praised Ferrari's move into the cryptoasset payment arena. He stated,
“Ferrari's decision to accept cryptoassets is a remarkable testament to the maturation and acceptance of digital currencies in mainstream commerce. We applaud Ferrari's forward-thinking approach, which aligns with the growing trend of embracing cryptoassets for payments.”
Marc emphasized the significance of this step in the context of the automotive industry as a whole, saying,
“We will likely see more automotive companies exploring cryptoasset payment options soon. Ferrari's leadership in this space will likely set a precedent and encourage other industry players to consider the benefits of cryptoasset payments.”
Digital currencies have evolved considerably since the inception of Bitcoin over a decade ago. In the beginning, cryptoassets were considered speculative assets; since then, they have expanded their use cases. This evolution has created opportunities for businesses in a variety of industries to provide cryptoasset payment options to their customers.
The Importance of Digital Currency Payment Processors
As Ferrari leads this transformative journey, the company has chosen BitPay, a digital currency payment processor, to facilitate these digital currency transactions. Cryptoasset payment processors (like XEROF Pay) facilitate converting digital currency payments into traditional fiat currency, protecting buyers and sellers from the price swings often associated with digital currencies.
Additionally, these services extend to verifying the legitimacy of digital currency sources, safeguarding against illicit activities such as money laundering or tax evasion.
The acceptance of cryptoassets by Ferrari does not entail any change in vehicle prices, additional fees, or surcharges, ensuring that the transition to cryptoasset payments is as seamless and transparent as possible.
