Japan’s Largest Railway Accepting Cryptocurrencies

It would be great to see ADA being used for JR East’s rail tickets. Looks like the Suica Smartcard is key to this…

“According to the plan, JR East will allow commuters to pay for their tickets using cryptocurrencies with the Suica smartcard. Further, JR East is working with DeCurrent and IIJ to manage connectivity and network services”.

“DeCurrent mainly supports trade in BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC and XRP, and therefore its likely that Suica smartcards will support payments in these cryptocurrencies”.

It’s a great development for cryptocurrencies whatever way you look at it…
