Dubai - the first city where you can now officially buy goods for Coin

[Mazda3]

Dubai residents can now buy goods and services using digital currencies. Payment blockchain platform Pundi X, together with Ebooc Fintech & Loyalty Labs - a platform for loyalty programs, entered into a partnership with the Dubai Credit Union - Emcredit.

emCash and Pundi X
From now on, payments in Dubai can be made using emCash, the state currency based on the blockchain technology and the digital equivalent of the UAE dirham.

In turn, Pundi X is developing POS solutions for emCash, with which digital currency can be used to pay for government services, telecommunications and shopping in stores.

Distribution of cryptocurrency in Dubai
Of course, Dubai is at the spearhead of blockchain-innovation. Now it has become the world's first “smart city” to master the technology at the most massive level.

Pundi X Plans
Pundi X is gaining momentum since the Binance community voted to add cryptocurrency to the exchange platform in June. Over the next three years, Pundi X plans to install 100,000 retail POS systems worldwide.
