Ferrari, the Italian luxury automaker, has recently started accepting cryptocurrency payments in the United States. The company has partnered with BitPay, a major crypto payment processor, to handle the transactions.
The move is aimed at meeting the demands of both traditional and young investors who are part of Ferrari’s client base.
The accepted digital assets include Bitcoin, Ether, and USDC. The partnership with BitPay allows for instant conversion of the digital assets to fiat currency, protecting dealers from the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. Ferrari is also considering expanding this payment option to Europe in the near future.
Ferrari has taken a different approach by embracing cryptocurrency, despite the hesitation among blue-chip companies due to its volatility and regulatory uncertainty.
The company believes that it can attract a new audience who are financially capable and interested in investing in cryptocurrencies.
Additionally, the brand is committed to carbon neutrality by 2030 and sees the crypto industry’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact as a positive step.
While this is great news for cryptocurrency adoption, it is unlikely to have a significant impact.
When Tesla accepted Bitcoin in 2021, it was considered a big move, but few people took advantage of the opportunity. For US buyers, using crypto to purchase a car comes with significant tax implications as it involves selling the crypto and incurring a tax liability.
Scott Melker believes that this is great news, but it will not matter that much in the present financial context. We will just have to wait and see.
