    WeMakePrice, a major online shopping mall in South Korea, has announced that it will now be accepting payment <\/a>in the form of twelve different kinds of cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. According to Korean news source YonHap News, the move comes as part of a partnership with virtual currency exchange Bithumb.<\/p>\n

    The plan is to develop a payment system that will integrate virtual currency into Wimepey, a pre-existing settlement service used by the mall.<\/p>\n

    YonHap reported that the service will be available as soon as \u201cgovernment policies and regulations on virtual money are confirmed.\u201d(Translated quote.)<\/em><\/p>\n

    Crypto Payments\u2013On the Rise?<\/h2>\n

    While this is the first major shopping mall in South Korea to announce that it will be integrating cryptocurrency as a payment method in its stores, some other major retailers in South Korea <\/a>have already made the move.<\/p>\n

    In late November of 2017, Goto Mall (South Korea\u2019s largest underground shopping center) announced that it was partnering with local crypto exchange HTS Coin<\/a> to develop the tools necessary to start accepting Bitcoin. Together, the mall and the exchange built a smart payment system and a mobile app that made the process of accepting BTC for small purchases more streamlined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
