Altcoin News: Evidence of Possible eBay Preparation for Crypto Payments Integration Has Been Published

One of the world’s largest online marketplace, eBay can implement cryptocurrency support on its platform.

This is evidenced by an advertising banner from the crypto-conference Consensus 2019, which starts today in New York, whose alleged photos hit the network before the official start of the event. eBay along with Deloitte, IBM, Microsoft, Citi, AWS and other companies sponsors the conference.

“Virtual currencies. It’s happening on eBay,” reads the inscription on one side of the banner. “Reach 179 million active buyers of the worlds largest marketplace,” on the other.

Evidence of the possibility of adding support for Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies on such a large platform has traditionally caused an active discussion in the community. Probably, the corresponding option, if it is still implemented, will be implemented through the mediation of one of the existing processing services.

Although the information on the integration of crypto payments on eBay, as well as possible cooperation, remains at the level of speculation, this event can be quite remarkable, especially considering the position of another company from a related industry. PayPal Chief Financial Officer John Rainey said last week that it’s premature to talk about the implementation of payment mechanisms based on cryptocurrency.
