This tie-up between Lolli and Alibaba could be very beneficial for the U.S. shoppers as they will receive Bitcoin was a reward whoever they shop from Alibaba.com. the shoppers can earn up to 5% of Bitcoin as a reward.

The retail startup Lolli has stated that now the U.S. shopper can earn the smallest unit of Bitcoin token Satoshis when they shop “thousands of items online.” The announcement of the alliances between two companies was made on 11 November, which known as Singles Day and it is celebrated as a shopping holiday in China.

The Chinese people celebrate this day as a big shopping event and it is also known as the world’s largest one-way shopping celebration. On the other hand, as per the Lolli, shoppers of Alibaba spent over $31 billion on Singles Day the previous year.

The CEO and co-founder of Lolli, Alex Adelman stated,

One more thing that is important that this feature of earning free bitcoin as a reward for shopping is only available in the United States, as per the report of Coindesk. Unfortunately, the Chinese customers of Alibaba can not take part in this and the purchased items would be shipped to the U.S. from China, as stated by Lolli’s head of communications, Aubrey Strobel.
