Whole Foods is among a group of bitcoin retailers accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The payment option is being facilitated by a partnership between start-up Flexa and digital-currency exchange Gemini , owned by Flexa and Cameron Winklevoss . Customers can use Whole Foods 's SPEDN app to pay for goods, with all cryptocurrency deposited in the app custodied with Cameron Winklevoss . Customers can pay with four cryptocurrencies - bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum and gemini dollar. We believe that not only will this result in cost-savings to the merchant, but to the consumer in the long-term as well. According to Nordstrom , merchants subjected to "expensive legacy systems of credit and debit cards stand to benefit significantly". Nordstrom and Lowe 's are among other retailers using the system.
