Google and Cointelegraph team up to enable crypto payments

As discussed by the company some users will be able to pay for cloud services using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum through Coinbase early this year.

Google also plans to explore the use of Coinbase Prime, an escrow service for storing and trading cryptocurrencies.

Coinbase for its part announced that it will move some of its data-related applications from Amazon Web Services to Google’s cloud.

For the time being, cryptocurrency payments will only be accepted from a select group of customers already active on Web 3.0 through the Coinbase Commerce integration, said Amit Zavery, vice president and general manager of Google Cloud Platform.

He further stated that, over time, the service will be offered to more customers.

Conlusion:

Google has started to take a big step, and possibly thanks to this we will be one step closer to the fact that we can start buying various things with cryptocurrencies since there are many services that can be paid for by points from the play store. Hopefully, this movement will awaken other platforms such as the apple store or PayPal.
