Coins Crypto Cafebar
Japan is a leader when it comes to the number of merchants accepting cryptocurrencies since its Payment Services Act, which went into effect in April of last year, legalizes cryptocurrency as a means of payment.
A new cafebar inspired by cryptocurrencies is gearing up to open in Osaka, Japan. Coins cryptocurrency cafe and bar announced earlier this week that its grand opening will be on May 12. There will also be pre-opening events prior to that date.
The address of the establishment is Osaka prefecture Osaka-shi Naniwa-ku Nihonbashi 4-7-26 Wonder 3 Building 3F.
The cafebar has 23 seats, giving it a spacious feel “where many people can talk face to face,” the company described. “We have a large selection of foods and original goods” based on “15 kinds of [crypto]currencies, and all of the staff have names of virtual currencies,” Coins elaborated, adding that:
It is a space where you can use virtual currencies in real life.
In addition to fiat and credit cards, the cafebar currently lists the following payment options on its website: “BTC (bitcoin), BCH (bitcoin cash), ETH (ether), MONA (monacoin), LSK (lisk), XEM (nem), [and] LTC (litecoin).”
