A European dealer in gold, silver, platinum and palladium, SwissBullion.eu has expanded its payment methods to include XRP and Ethereum (ETH).
The two major cryptocurrencies join Bitcoin, which is already accepted by the precious metals dealer, which also supports stablecoin payments, including Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USDC.
According to a press release by SwissBullion.eu, accepting ETH will ensure that its clients can leverage a highly liquid and globally recognized cryptocurrency to buy precious metals with speed and efficiency. In addition, accepting XRP aligns with its vision of frictionless, borderless access to gold and silver for a global customer base.
