Starbucks, Whole Foods, Baskin Robbins, Ulta Beauty and other companies are now accepting payments in crypto-currency in the US. American payment start-up Flexa's app, Spedn allows crypto-currency holders to make instant payments to merchants with Flexa as a payment provider on the retailer's existing systems.
