The new partnership with Cantaloupe will mean bitcoin and loyalty points can be used to buy items at vending machines and other self-serve kiosks, known as "unattended retail," according to an announcement Thursday.
Gavin Michael, CEO of Bakkt, used the example of "buying a snack at an airport with unused points."
Bakkt – a firm that was founded by Intercontinental Exchange, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange – will also integrate into Cantaloupe's consumer app to give users the option to "Pay With Crypto" or "Pay With Points," helping consumers to make payments at self-service kiosks and stores.
The Bakkt app was originally announced in October 2019, but wasn't launched until March because of a delay caused by COVID-19.
