The Dash team announced today that it has signed a partnership with Bitnovo, the Spanish cryptocurrency payment platform, allowing consumers to purchase DASH in over 10,000 retailers throughout Spain. The partnership will see DASH available for purchase in thousands of stores through coupons and in selected Carrefour and Media Markt outlets through the purchase of gift cards.

Located in Spain, with immediate plans to expand to Portugal, Italy, and the UK, Bitnovo has been providing consumer payments solutions since 2015. Bitnovo is a leading international Bitcoin platform that offers a range of services to the cryptocurrency community.

With a presence in over 130 countries, the platform allows users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies using vouchers, gift cards, ATMs, and prepaid cards. Bitnovo has previously partnered with Carrefour, a multinational retailer operating in more than 30 countries worldwide and Media Markt, Europe’s largest retailer of consumer electronics, with over 700 stores in 14 countries.

Commenting on the partnership, Fernando Gutierrez, Head of Legal at Dash said:

“As the subject of cryptocurrencies finds its way into conversations around the globe, the primary barrier to widespread adoption of digital assets remains the same. While there is incredible eagerness to enter this arena, the convoluted path to entry remains a significant roadblock for most interested parties.” “Creating a platform that is open and accessible to all has been a core value since our inception. Partnering with Bitnovo gives us the chance to make accessing our unmatched currency as easy as buying a loaf of bread in your local market.”
