Uber 將整合比特幣和其他加密貨幣作為付款選項

Uber 執行長 Dara Khosrowshahi 最近宣布，該公司計劃在不久的將來整合比特幣和其他加密貨幣作為付款選項。

Ride-hailing giant Uber is set to integrate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment options in the near future, according to an announcement by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.

根據執行長 Dara Khosrowshahi 的公告，乘車巨頭 Uber 將在不久的將來整合比特幣和其他加密貨幣作為付款選項。

The move is part of Uber’s strategy to offer more convenience and choice to its customers, drivers, and partners. Khosrowshahi highlighted that Uber already accepts various digital payment methods, including credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, and Apple Pay.

此舉是 Uber 為客戶、司機和合作夥伴提供更多便利和選擇的策略的一部分。 Khosrowshahi 強調，Uber 已經接受各種數位支付方式，包括信用卡、PayPal、Venmo 和 Apple Pay。

Adding cryptocurrencies, he said, would be a natural progression in their payment strategy. However, he clarified that Uber does not intend to hold or invest in cryptocurrencies but aims to give users the flexibility to pay with their preferred method.

他說，添加加密貨幣將是他們支付策略的自然進展。不過，他澄清說，Uber 無意持有或投資加密貨幣，而是旨在讓用戶能夠靈活地使用自己喜歡的方式進行支付。

“We accept all kinds of local currency. We are going to look at cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in terms of currency to transact. That’s good for business, that’s good for our riders and our eaters,” Khosrowshahi said in an interview with CNBC.

“我們接受各種當地貨幣。我們將從交易貨幣的角度來看加密貨幣和比特幣。這對生意有好處，對我們的乘客和食客都有好處，」科斯羅薩西在接受 CNBC 採訪時表示。

“It’s ultimately up to the customer on how they want to pay. We want to make sure we accept everything and give the customer choice.”

「最終取決於客戶想要如何付款。我們希望確保接受一切並為客戶提供選擇。

Khosrowshahi also mentioned that Uber is closely monitoring regulatory developments and addressing the technical challenges associated with cryptocurrencies. The company is also collaborating with experts and partners to ensure a smooth and secure rollout.

科斯羅薩西也提到，Uber 正在密切關注監管發展並解決與加密貨幣相關的技術挑戰。該公司還與專家和合作夥伴合作，以確保順利、安全地推出。

While Khosrowshahi confirmed that Uber will “definitely” accept Bitcoin and crypto payments in the future, he did not specify a timeline or indicate which cryptocurrencies would be supported.

雖然科斯羅薩西確認 Uber 將來「肯定」會接受比特幣和加密貨幣支付，但他沒有具體說明時間表或表明將支援哪些加密貨幣。

However, it is anticipated that Uber will introduce a world-class cryptocurrency wallet app as part of this initiative.

然而，預計 Uber 將推出世界一流的加密貨幣錢包應用程式作為該計劃的一部分。

Khosrowshahi shared his enthusiasm for the potential of cryptocurrencies to reshape the global economy and society, expressing that Uber aims to be part of this transformative movement.

科斯羅薩西分享了他對加密貨幣重塑全球經濟和社會潛力的熱情，並表示 Uber 的目標是成為這場變革運動的一部分。

He said Uber is dedicated to maintaining its leadership in the mobility and transportation industry, and that adopting cryptocurrencies is one of the strategic steps the company is taking to achieve this vision.

他表示，Uber 致力於保持其在行動和交通行業的領導地位，採用加密貨幣是該公司為實現這一願景而採取的戰略步驟之一。

Uber’s move aligns with the growing interest and adoption of cryptocurrencies by several major companies. For instance, Mastercard recently announced that it will allow merchants on its network to send and receive payments in select cryptocurrencies.

Uber 的舉動符合幾家大公司對加密貨幣日益增長的興趣和採用。例如，萬事達卡最近宣布將允許其網路上的商家以選定的加密貨幣發送和接收付款。

This development is expected to expand the use cases and accessibility of cryptocurrencies in the mainstream economy.

這一發展預計將擴大加密貨幣在主流經濟中的用例和可及性。
