Spar, a multinational grocery retailer with over 48 countries in its footprint, is expanding the accessibility of digital payment options at its stores across Switzerland. DFX Swiss, a crypto firm known for its work with OpenCryptoPay, announced that Spar will begin accepting Bitcoin as a method of payment throughout the nation. This transition was made possible by DFX Swiss’s OpenCryptoPay platform, which leverages the Bitcoin Lightning Network to facilitate secure and fast transactions. 2023 marked a significant milestone as pilot programs in Zug and Kreuzlingen led to an expansion across Switzerland. The adoption comes after successful testing of this new payment method at select stores in Switzerland.
