Monero, the leading privacy coin by market cap and adoption metrics is starting off this year on a positive note. In the latest development, Monero (XMR) has partnered with one of the leading online videogame platforms and their game Fortnite<\/a><\/strong>, which through its online store Retail Row<\/a><\/strong> will be accepting XMR as the only cryptocurrency payment option. <\/p>\n Rumors about this development started making rounds on social media during the New Year\u2019s Day but were later confirmed by Monero\u2019s lead developer Riccardo Spagni<\/strong> who broke the news on his Twitter. Spagni wrote:<\/p>\n \u201cToo cool: the Fortnite merch store (http:\/\/merch.fortnite.com<\/a>) lets you pay in Monero, so now you can purchase that sweet Durrr Burger onesie without your friends \/ family \/ coworkers judging you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Spagni further specified that Retail Row will be routing the payments through the online cryptocurrency payments processor Globee<\/strong> which currently supports payments made in Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], Litecoin [LTC], Dogecoin [DOGE], Decred [DCR], Ripple\u2019s XRP and Monero [XMR]. However, Monero will be the first cryptocurrency that Retail Row will be accepting directly in addition to other conventional forms of payment such as credit cards and PayPal.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
