Yacht Bookings to accept digital currencies payments in Singapore, the first in the Yachting industry
Yacht Bookings, an industry pioneer and a leading platform for charters, today announced that it will accept digital currency payments through Triple-A, a licensed payment gateway.
With growing demand for digital currency investments and huge potential for digital currency transactions in the luxury sector, Yacht Bookings is the first luxury charter platform in Singapore to offer customers the option to fund their bookings via their digital currency investments.
High-net-worth individuals are no strangers to digital currency investments, with 56% expressing their interest in digital currencies. In the world of luxury, 85% of millennials drive the global luxury sales growth and also make up 58% of the digital currencies population. With significant life milestones and corporate events, it’s likely that this generation is keen on funding their celebrations using digital currencies investments as users seek more ways to spend their digital currencies.

With operations in Southeast Asia, Yacht Bookings caters to a large segment of consumers who seek luxury. By adding digital currencies as a payment option, the platform expects to not only see an increase in demand from current customers but also attract potential customers seeking new avenues to invest their digital currencies.
“We’ve seen a significant increase in movement in the luxury space, with renowned fashion brands and travel companies diving into the opportunities of digital currencies.
