Walmart job listing teases that bitcoin payments could be coming

[Chris Smith]

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have had a tumultuous year so far. We saw bitcoin soar to nearly $65,000 in mid-April and then lose more than 50% of its value three months later when it dipped below $30,000 per coin. Unlike the previous bull runs, it wasn't just retail investors drumming up excitement. Financial institutions and businesses rose to the occasion, as well. They looked to invest in crypto or support the needs of their customers. PayPal is one example. The payment service now supports bitcoin trading and lets users pay for goods via crypto. However, that process involves exchanging digital tokens for fiat when making an online payment with PayPal. In the not too distant future, crypto enthusiasts might be able to spend digital coins directly inside online stores. After rumors said a few weeks ago that Amazon was interested in bitcoin payments, another giant is eying bitcoin payments: Walmart.
