Trivago partners with Travala, letting users book hotels with crypto. Crypto travel demand is booming, making blockchain adoption more mainstream!
Big news for travel and crypto lovers—Trivago just partnered with Travala, bringing crypto payments to hotel bookings! This means millions of Trivago users can now find, compare, and book over 2.2 million Travala properties worldwide and pay with 100+ cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and AVA.
Timo Itterbeck, Trivago’s Head of Account Management, made it clear that their mission has always been to give travelers the most choice, and adding crypto with Travala.com definitely does that. The NASDAQ-listed Trivaga operates in more than 190 countries with upwards of 3 million monthly active users who would now be directly exposed to cryptocurrencies.
Meanwhile, Travala is killing it: sales last year reached $100M, doubling from last year, while a full 78% of its bookings were paid in Bitcoin-a clear indicator that crypto travel is trending.
Travala CEO Juan Otero sees this as a huge step toward mainstream crypto adoption. He says real-world use cases like travel legitimize crypto and make it more practical for everyday transactions.
Experts agree—mass adoption needs real-world blockchain applications. The Open Network Foundation’s Justin Hyun believes user-friendly apps like Telegram Mini Apps could be the Trojan Horse that brings in the next 500M crypto users.
