Bhutan Uses Binance Pay to Boost Tourism
Bhutan now accepts Binance Pay at over 1,000 local shops through a partnership with DK Bank since May, making crypto payments easier for tourists.
The country aims to attract tech-savvy travelers, especially as traditional payments like Mastercard or currency exchanges for BTN (Bhutanese ngultrum) are limited.
Bhutan targets 300,000 tourists per year but faces challenges like limited airport access—only a few pilots are certified to land at Paro Airport due to its difficult location.
Despite challenges, Bhutan is embracing crypto broadly, including large-scale state-owned crypto mining, signaling more crypto-related opportunities ahead.
