Unsure whether bitcoin will be accepted in the near future.

The stablecoin CU plans to accept is a major KRW stablecoin invested by Binance, OKEx, Huobi, Polychain, Dunamu (company invested by Kakao that runs UPbit), Arrington XRP Capital, etc.

Hopes are that the stablecoin integration would eventually lead to CU accepting major cryptos like bitcoin in the long term but at this point, it doesn't seem to be in the works.
