Is Airbnb Gearing Up for Allowing Crypto Payments?
Evening
It seems Airbnb is gearing up for allowing crypto payments for its 200 million users. In a recent tweet, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky shared a pool asking their 400,000 followers about suggestion for Airbnb in 2022.
The pool revealed that majority of the 4,000 respondents came up with suggestion regarding allowing cryptocurrencies to pay for apartments/hotels rentals via Airbnb.
Brian also said that Airbnb is already working on several of the suggestion and crypto payment suggestions included a variety of token idea. Although he didn't mentioned the specifics but it is clear that Airbnb is working on multiple crypto tokens payment option.
This is not the first time Airbnb hinted crypto payment option, as last year Chesky already revealed that they have been getting repeated crypto payment requests and company have been looking into it.
Airbnb already has already been recorded declining revenues due to covid restrictions hampering the tourism and hospitality industry. The company recorded a 30 percent loss year-on-year bases in 2020. Although covid does have an impact but it is not entirely to blame, as several other crypto rental services like Travala.com and Dtravel have started to skim away Airbnb business. So the imminent crypto payment option may prove to be a breeze of fresh air by Airbnb business.
