IKEA is a swedish company and makes almost anything. They have a wide range of product and a large service area. Integrating crypto in their payment would further their use. As read the article, it's not just a payment completed with Ethereum. IKEA Iceland used smart contract on Ethereum to create a smart invoice. And actually paid with digital Krona. It's the first time smart contract being used in such trade.

It's amazing to see that Tradeshift assisted IKEA to process an invoice using Smart contract on Ethereum blockchain for a local retailer. I'm looking forward to seeing a day when many businesses will adopt blockchain technology and crypto mainstream. This is the only way crypto won't go extinct, even though more upgrades in blockchain architectures and regulations might be needed soon for remarkable adoption to happen.

This news pleased me very much and I am glad that such a big business keeps up with the times. It seems to me that this is an indicator of how the cryptocurrency is used in various sectors of the existing business.

Nice! It's good to see large retail chains like IKEA getting behind the crypto scene. I guess in order to receive steady adoption we need the big merchants to gradually start accepting payments in crypto, creating a wider reach to of people who may be unfamiliar with crypto.

If it is true, it is good development for not only for ETH but also for crypto world. As global companies like IKEA start to use (even pronounce) crypto currency, it will be good opportunities for all crypto world make their own advertisement. With this purpose new traders and investors can meet with crypto. More money can flow to crypto. In these situation, we must be careful about new traders not be scamed by scammers. We must protect all crypto world against scammers for the sake of crypto.

Yes, I heard about it. Co-founder of Tradeshift hopes that this can help break down country barriers for small companies and open access to finance in all of our 190 countries where the Tradeshift platform is operational. I think it's a huge step for crypto community.

Wow, this is huge news for Ethereum. Ethereum becomes useful in everyday life and people will realize how this technology can be helpful and reduce costs of service. But many people could lose their job because they can be replaced by this technology.

Excitemeny intensifies!!.. IKEA is a huge multinational company. It has a few points of work in my country as well and I've even been looking lately to buy some furniture and appliances. Will send them an email to inquire about paying with cryptocurrencies.

It would be a much better news, if IKEA would accept crypto globally. But as far as I understood, they are accepting ETH only in Iceland, and this country is very crypto friendly with a bunch of mining firms located there.

I don't know if that is true or not, but they can accept ethereum technology and integrate their payment with the ethereum. If that is true, then I think that can bring new experiences to IKEA. I think that can attract the other big companies to use not just ethereum but also bitcoin. But that will be interesting to see what will happen next to the other big companies. Will they follow IKEA to accepts cryptocurrency, or they still use the existing payment system.
