Airbnb users demand crypto payment option

Brian Chesky, the CEO of the American rental company Airbnb, polled his nearly 400K followers on Monday, asking what they are expecting from the platform in 2022. 

When renting their next apartment or house on Airbnb, the majority of respondents want to get paid with Bitcoin (BTC) or other prominent digital currencies, according to Chesky. Other demands include clear pricing labels, up-to-date cleaning charges, a visitor loyalty program, and improved customer support.

Is Airbnb offering crypto payments?

The accommodation company's CEO stated that he has been watching a variety of token ideas, hinting that Airbnb's crypto payment options will not be limited to just one or two digital assets.

Many market pundits are speculating that the renting giant will soon be coming with the crypto payment option in addition to its existing Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal payment methods. As per Chesky, Airbnb has processed roughly $336 billion in transactions since 2013.

Airbnb CEO vocal on the technology's potential

Chesky has been outspoken about the potential of Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. He told Fox Business in September that the company had received an infinite number of questions about crypto payments. He, however, did not come up with any announcement regarding the same. 
"We get a lot of requests; I've been getting it for years. I have nothing to announce on it today."
The cryptocurrency excitement surrounding Airbnb arises as decentralized blockchain-based rivals such as Dtravel of Travala.com, which offers vacation rentals, gain traction.

In November, during an interview with The Verge, the CEO was asked about his take on the future of metaverse and digital asset world, to which he replied:

"We are definitely looking into it. Absolutely. Like the revolution in travel, there is clearly a revolution happening in crypto. Airbnb and crypto both have interesting relationships with trust."

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
