✈️ XRP takes off - China Airlines looks to cryptocurrency payments on a large scale
Reports indicate that Webus International has partnered with China Airlines to promote Wetour to over 60 million loyal PhoenixMiles customers. XRP payments may be added to the Wetour external platform, but not automatically. Future work phases and regulatory approvals will determine this change.
Wetour will prioritize premium driver services and transportation to and from the airport under the agreement. PhoenixMiles members can use Wetour, which accepts XRP and RLUSD.
A massive headline: 60 million. It grabs attention. Active usage differs from access. Some loyalty programs include members who never travel or use partner services.
Early usage may be limited to transportation vouchers and luxury promotional offers from Wetour, not all 60 million members. This could be significant. Pilot projects start modestly and grow as they are used.
This early and conditional step for XRP in travel and loyalty programs is important. Webus's treasury of $300 million and XRPL's intentions make the proposal more credible than just a journalistic claim.
