🚀 In yesterday’s newsletter, we covered payments — and how stablecoins, one of crypto’s “killer apps,” are making waves with a staggering $8.5 trillion in transactions in Q2 2024 alone, even outpacing giants like #Visa! This brings us to an exciting recap from Travel Un’chained: Lufthansa presented their approach to B2B #stablecoin payments for non-BSP countries. ✈️💸 Tackling the challenge of complex, slow, and costly payments in markets outside the Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP), Lufthansa Group and FinMont Global have developed a new payment flow using stablecoins, with all transactions documented on Camino Network. This solution shortens settlement time and reduces risk - a particularly significant development for regions lacking a robust payment infrastructure. Scheduled to go live in 2025, this system is a bold step towards more efficient and reliable payments in the travel industry. 🎤 Lars Schöning & Suby Valluri https://lnkd.in/eFFngDBY #web3travelusecase

#Loyalty in #travel has always been a big elephant in the room. Yet, too big to handle properly 👉Travelers find it difficult to handle and, therefore, forget to redeem their points. Brands lose out on customer engagement and actual loyalty. 💔 Me Protocol offers a solution to this problem by bringing travel reward systems to blockchain. This #web3travelusecase demonstrates how both travelers and brands can benefit from a frictionless, interoperable rewards system. 💡 Ever wondered *why travel needs blockchain*? One reason might lie in something as simple as unused loyalty points. https://lnkd.in/dXaizmyZ 🎤 Robert Wesley (Winner of the Tectris.vc Accelerator Program)
