BitTorrent is happy to announce that CoinGate now supports BitTorrent (BTT), making it immediately available as a secure payment option for dozens of online merchants. Now accepting BTT as a secure and private payment option includes flight and hotel booking sites, VPNs, VPS, games, dating, domain registration services, online advertising networks and more.

“With the launch of BitTorrent Speed, we aim to drive mass adoption of blockchain and BTT,” said Justin Sun, founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent. “With over 100 million users having the ability to earn BTT by contributing to a healthier BitTorrent ecosystem, CoinGate’s support of BitTorrent’s digital currency enables our users to buy goods and services across a growing list of global online merchants.”

“CoinGate is excited about the newest addition to its payment gateway, highlighting the fact that cryptocurrencies like BTT have the potential to make digital assets more approachable to the masses,” said Dmitrijus Borisenka, founder of CoinGate. “BitTorrent has a unique opportunity to introduce the concept of cryptocurrency to millions of people at once. We are happy to expand the use-cases of BTT and show people that cryptocurrencies can also suffice as a viable means of payment in addition to their main purpose.”
