Q. Which country has launched the world’s first national-level cryptocurrency tourism payment system?
Answer: Bhutan
Notes: Bhutan recently launched the world’s first national-level cryptocurrency tourism payment system in partnership with Binance Pay and DrukPay Kunzang Bank (DK Bank). Tourists can now use their Binance accounts to pay for services like airfares, visas, hotels, and even local fruits using cryptocurrencies. The system is built into the Binance app and supports over 100 digital currencies, including Binance Coin (BNB), Bitcoin (BTC), and USD Coin (USDC). Payments are made in real-time using QR codes, and settlements are done instantly in Bhutanese currency through DK Bank. This helps local artisans and small businesses, especially in remote areas, accept digital payments easily and boosts financial inclusion.
