European physical retail has made a new move - the Swiss supermarket chain Spar has directly rolled out encryption payment across its national stores, and this time it's quite significant.

They launched a new app that supports checkout with over 100 types of encryption currencies. It's not a pilot program; it's a nationwide rollout, which is the first in the Swiss grocery retail industry. What's even more interesting is that the owner of Spar did some calculations: using encryption payments can cut the merchant fees by about two-thirds, which is quite attractive for the retail industry.

To be honest, this kind of news won't directly bring about any trading opportunities, but it is quietly changing one thing – BTC is shifting from the narrative of "digital gold" towards being a "real payment tool." Switzerland now has over 800 businesses accepting Bitcoin, from cafes to chain supermarkets, and this payment network is indeed expanding.

For long-term holders, the rollout of this infrastructure is more worthy of attention than short-term price fluctuations.
