Google Clouds to Accept Crypto Payments

As of early 2023, Google’s Clouds service will be accepting crypto payments after entering into a partnership with Coinbase Commerce, the company announced.

Coinbase Commerce is a tool for making payments aimed at businesses and provided by the crypto exchange, Coinbase. At the moment, it’s working with ten cryptos, including BTC, ETH, and USDT, which Google Clouds’ customers will be able to use for payment. Coinbase Commerce will thus relocate its apps concerning data from another cloud, belonging to Amazon Web Services.

As of recently, Google seems to be increasingly interested in crypto. This September, it began running a validator node on the Ronin Network. What’s more, the company is preparing its own bridge for cross-chain interoperability. Is Google beginning to follow in Meta’s footsteps when it comes to Web3 expansion?
