Maybe not. Shopee is known for very cheap items and I doubt there will be people wanting to pay in bitcoin. And is bitcoin that big in south east asia? But I thought that if bitcoin gets accepted in shopee, it will be a huge sign of adoption.
https://www.bitrefill.com/sg/en/gift-cards/shopee-singapore/I think they are still the few online shopping outfit that are yet to accept bitcoin directly for payment. They do that indirectly
through gift card and bitrefill is responsible for that.
What I think that makes a company begin to change or review some of their old policy is competition and I don't think they have such kind of competition that will force them to do away with indirect acceptance of cryptocurrency.
However, we know that Asia wasn't at the forefront of accepting cryptocurrency unlike Europe and US but they are beginning to join in the train of movement and speedily so. For example in Japan,
ANAP a fashion company in Japan bought 50.5 bitcoin
In a headline-making development shared by BitcoinConfAsia, Japanese fashion company ANAP has purchased 50.5 Bitcoin, with plans to acquire up to 950 more within two months. While the move may seem unconventional for a retail brand, it underscores a broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption in Japan. This bold step not only reflects rising institutional confidence in digital assets but also positions Japan at the forefront of Asia’s evolving relationship with cryptocurrency.
This is a big progress for the continent of Asia who lately have been making legislation to also use bitcoin as reserve and adoption. So it is a matter of time before Shopee review the use of cryptocurrency for direct payment as alternative to fiat.
So the adoption is already on whether Shopee is accepting Bitcoin now or not. They won't have choice by the time another big name opens up within their jurisdiction and sells same kind of stuff they do while accepting Bitcoin. Of course they would begin to lose customers.
