Fast Food Meets Crypto: Burger King to Accept Crypto Payments

Fast Food Meets Crypto: Burger King to Accept Crypto Payments

Fast food chain Burger King has launched Instpower power bank rental machines in its Paris locations that accept cryptocurrency payments.

Burger King Paris now accepts cryptocurrency payments through Instpower power bank rental machines, with connections to Alchemy Pay and Binance Pay, according to a March 27 press release.

With this development, Instpower now accepts crypto payments, including Bitcoin, at over 14,000 locations worldwide.

CEO of Flash Development Yann Phu expressed his enthusiasm about the availability of Instpower machines in Paris and how the collaboration with Alchemy Pay is bringing cutting-edge payment options to Europeans.

This borderless payment option is appropriate for travelers who frequently use shared power banks.

Almost two million businesses in 70+ countries participated in Alchemy Pay’s fiat-crypto payment acceptance system in 2021.

Food industry giants such as KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut filed NFTs and metaverse trademarks in March last year, following McDonald’s decision to explore the metaverse.

Alex is Editor-in-Chief of Coinspress and co-founder of Millennial Media Group, with nearly a decade of experience covering financial markets - crypto first, then everything else. It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
