PLUTUS LAUNCHES NEW APP THAT LETS CRYPTOCURRENCY HOLDERS SPEND THEIR DIGITAL CURRENCY IN STORES ACROSS THE WORLD

Cryptocurrencies are steadily gaining popularity, but the real challenge remains how to convince merchants to accept them. It’s estimated that fewer than 0.1% of the world’s stores accept Bitcoin because of the difficulties in exchanging it for legacy currencies.

Plutus is offering a revolutionary new idea which avoids the need to wait for merchant adoption altogether. Customers can top up their Plutus app with Bitcoin, Ether or even Pluton and then spend it anywhere. The unique PlutusDEX platform exchanges the crypto to sterling or euros as soon as the payment is made, and the merchant gets paid immediately without additional fees.

Danial Daychopan, Plutus CEO and founder, says, “Our system is the first that is safe for customers, easy for merchants and acceptable to banks. It’s a push-only system and purchases are verified using the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, secured by the most powerful distributed computing networks in the world”.

Plutus operates a loyalty scheme whereby customers get up to 3% back on their purchases, paid straight to their account in Pluton – the house digital currency. This can be immediately spent on the app.

The Plutus DEX platform is a peer to peer exchange system where customers can swap pounds and euros for Bitcoin, Ether or Pluton and vice versa.

Plutus began in 2015, raising over $1 million in a crowdfunding round. The company was voted one of the fintech start-ups of the year.

Danial Daychopan, adds, “The launch of our cryptocurrency app is the start of a crypto currency revolution. For the first time ever, crypto investors can use their digital currency online and in shops across the world.
