Peach to accept bitcoin as payment
TOKYO: Peach Aviation Ltd will become the first Japanese carrier to accept bitcoin as payment for airline tickets as the discount airline aims to attract more tourists from other parts of Asia. The cryptocurrency could be used to book seats starting at the end of the year, said Peach yesterday, adding that a change in Japan’s law on fund settlements last month helped facilitate the move. The carrier also aimed to increase tie-ups with local governments and regional firms to help spread usage of the currency, said the airline. Agencies
