Purchasing furniture with crypto

Crypto is starting to take a more prominent place in society and it shows. More and more people are interested in investing in cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin. Companies are increasingly aware of this development and are responding to it. This includes Wants&Needs, the trendy online retailer that specializes in home accessories and furniture. The company will make it possible to pay with crypto from August 2021, making it the first online retailer in the interior design industry with this option.

“Almost everyone is now familiar with the terms crypto and bitcoin. We have therefore been seeing different forms of crypto currency for years. An earlier study by Markteffect showed that almost all Dutch people (91%) are familiar with bitcoin and that 25% indicate that they are considering investing in it. The corona crisis has given investing in crypto an extra boost; people had more time to delve into it and then bought their first crypto coin. The value of many crypto coins has therefore risen sharply in the past year,” said the online retailer.

From August 2021 you can also pay with crypto when purchasing furniture and home accessories from Wants&Needs. Koen Goossens, owner of Wants&Needs, saw a gap in the market. He noticed that there was a great need for payments via cryptocurrency and sees this as a great way to innovate. This step fits perfectly with his overall entrepreneurial style: “Plan your next move because every step contributes towards your goal.”

You can therefore already purchase a B&B Italia sofa, Vitra chairs or a beautiful chair from the Cassina brand with crypto today. Something that many consumers do not know.
