Crypto as a winning innovation strategy

In its statement, the Michele Franzese Moda group emphasizes that for small and medium-sized multi-brand luxury retailers, the only winning strategy remains to focus on innovation. 

In this regard, here is how the group’s announcement reads:

“Starting to accept cryptocurrencies means looking with interest, attention and foresight at new scenarios and opening the doors to a future in constant development and change, giving new, numerous and interesting opportunities to lovers of luxury and innovation”.

The Italian multibrand also said that it had requested an update from Apple to introduce cryptocurrency payment, but that no advance response had been received. This is why crypto payment is not yet available on the iOS app.
