#美国政府停运 Payment giant Square made a big move on November 11th—directly enabling Bitcoin payments for merchants' POS machines.
Currently, their ecosystem includes over 4 million stores (covering 8 countries). Merchants can activate the feature with a simple toggle on the terminal. However, at the moment, only offline card payments are supported; online payments and invoicing features are still in development.
The most impressive part is that there will be zero transaction fees until 2027, after which a symbolic 1% fee will be applied. Some users in the U.S. have already tested it at coffee shops—scanning a QR code with Cash App to pay in BTC, and the experience was very smooth. Additionally, Cash App has launched a global map highlighting which merchants support Bitcoin payments.
Cryptocurrency is making solid progress from a speculative tool to a practical payment method. (Source: Cointelegraph)
