Airbnb customers may soon be able to book accommodations using cryptocurrencies as users suggest such payments to the company’s CEO.
American home rental firm Airbnb Inc. might soon join the growing list of companies that accept cryptocurrencies as payment options for services.The possibility of Airbnb supporting crypto payments comes after the company’s co-founder, and CEO Brian Chesky asked users on Twitter to recommend anything they would like the home rental firm to do in 2022.Three days after he posed the question, Chesky sorted through nearly 4,000 comments and made a list of the top six recommendations.
Other recommendations in the top six include providing clear pricing displays, a guest loyalty program, updated cleaning fees, more long-term stays and discounts, and better customer service.Interestingly, the CEO added that some of the suggestions are already in the pipeline for 2022, and the firm will consider others.
Although Chesky did not explicitly state his company’s stance on adding crypto payments, his comments could mean one of two things. Either Airbnb was already planning to integrate digital asset payments into its services before the CEO asked for suggestions, or it will consider doing so before the end of the year.3 – Guest loyalty programAlready working on most, will look into others now!
