|- Australian debit card network Eftpos is using Hedera Hashgraph to trial a micropayment system.
- Eftpos plans to showcase the use of micropayments for the purchase of online goods and services.
- Eftpos will host a "digital Australian dollar stablecoin" on Hedera.
- HBAR/USDT bulls finally ran out of steam at the 0.04246 resistance level.
Eftpos, a leading Australian debit card network, is reportedly using Hedera (HBAR) Hashgraph to trial a micropayment system. Stephen Benton, the CEO of Eftpos, said that the partnership of the two companies is a key part of Eftpos’ digital payments strategy, according to a CoinDesk report.
Eftpos will host a "digital Australian dollar stablecoin" on Hedera. It will use hashgraph to fund a digital wallet, which could be used to make small payments for web content. Benton said that micropayment transactions could be used to purchase online goods and services, including pay-per-page content and streaming services on a pay-per-second basis.
The project is led by Robert Allen, who will focus on payments innovation. Allen said the proof-of-concept would help Eftpos explore additional use cases of distributed ledger technology by leveraging “next-generation payments infrastructure.” Eftpos clocked over two billion transactions in 2019 and is worth around AU$130 billion (US$92.8 billion).
