Uber dips its toes into crypto

While this tie-up already sounds exciting enough, the best part is that Solve.Care’s customers will be given an opportunity to pay for transportation services by using the company’s native ERC-20 tokens. These tokens will be automatically converted fiat so that drivers won’t experience any inconveniences.

Nevertheless, this is the first time when Uber, one of the biggest Silicon Valley startups that recently held its IPO, will deal directly with crypto, which represents a significant step for adoption.

We’re always going to be looking to expand and grow what we can do with Solve.Care. I think in blockchain in general, it’s still early days,” says Uber Health CEO Dan Trigub.
