The CEO of Zumo, a digital wallet and payments platform, Nick Jones believes more brands will join Tesla’s lead.
“We’re delighted to see that Tesla is now accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment for their products,” Jones explained.
“The increased institutional investment and market support of cryptocurrency from such brands is a key indicator of not only its long-term value but its contemporary relevance.
Knowing that over half of UK crypto owners have purchased this currency in the last six months, I’d imagine that more brands will follow suit,” the Zumo CEO added.

With March coming to an end, one analyst said Bitcoin should get “a nice tailwind” as hedge funds rebalance for quarterly reports or to manage risks.
