Uber 将整合比特币和其他加密货币作为支付选项

Uber 首席执行官 Dara Khosrowshahi 最近宣布，该公司计划在不久的将来整合比特币和其他加密货币作为支付选项。

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.

根据首席执行官 Dara Khosrowshahi 的公告，乘车巨头 Uber 将在不久的将来整合比特币和其他加密货币作为支付选项。

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.

此举是 Uber 为客户、司机和合作伙伴提供更多便利和选择的战略的一部分。 Khosrowshahi 强调，Uber 已经接受各种数字支付方式，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.

他说，添加加密货币将是他们支付策略的自然进展。不过，他澄清说，Uber 无意持有或投资加密货币，而是旨在让用户能够灵活地使用自己喜欢的方式进行支付。

“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.

“我们接受各种当地货币。我们将从交易货币的角度来看待加密货币和比特币。这对生意有好处，对我们的乘客和食客都有好处，”科斯罗萨西在接受 CNBC 采访时表示。

“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.”

“最终取决于客户想要如何付款。我们希望确保接受一切并为客户提供选择。”

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.

科斯罗萨西还提到，Uber 正在密切关注监管发展并解决与加密货币相关的技术挑战。该公司还与专家和合作伙伴合作，以确保顺利、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.

虽然科斯罗萨西确认 Uber 将来“肯定”会接受比特币和加密货币支付，但他没有具体说明时间表或表明将支持哪些加密货币。

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

然而，预计 Uber 将推出世界一流的加密货币钱包应用程序作为该计划的一部分。

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.

科斯罗萨西分享了他对加密货币重塑全球经济和社会潜力的热情，并表示 Uber 的目标是成为这场变革运动的一部分。

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 致力于保持其在移动和交通行业的领导地位，采用加密货币是该公司为实现这一愿景而采取的战略步骤之一。

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 的举动符合几家大公司对加密货币日益增长的兴趣和采用。例如，万事达卡最近宣布将允许其网络上的商家以选定的加密货币发送和接收付款。

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

这一发展预计将扩大加密货币在主流经济中的用例和可及性。
