What does this mean for Grapefruit?
Grapefruit's decision to accept all cryptocurrencies, along with traditional payment methods, is an effort by the company to broaden their outreach to all age groups - especially younger adults who are more likely to use crypto.
Bradley J. Yourist, Grapefruit CEO, commented, “Grapefruit’s THC-free hemp-derived CBD Hourglass technology-driven products, just like cryptocurrencies and the blockchain, are the future, and Grapefruit’s acceptance of crypto as payment demonstrates GPFT’s outreach to the explosively growing demographic of crypto early adopters and other ‘younger’ buyers who also seek the holistic benefits of Grapefruit’s THC-free, hemp-derived Hourglass time-release CBD products."
The company also stated that they looked forward to the day when crypto was fully decriminalized and customers from "around the world" would be able to use crypto to pay for products. Grapefruit also stressed that the products sold on their e-commerce site will include a QR coded certificate of analysis, which will provide consumers with a complete list of third-party-verified ingredients, including cannabinoid content.
