Amazon has bought three cryptocurrency-related domain names, adding to rumours it may soon start accepting payment in digital currencies. The e-commerce giant registered amazonethereum.com, amazoncryptocurrencies.com and amazoncryptocurrency.com on 31 October. The domains are amazonethereum.com, amazoncryptocurrency.com, and amazoncryptocurrencies.com. The move follows news based on Silicon Valley sources that Amazon may soon integrate bitcoin as a payment option. Bitcoin’s price surged above $11,000 at one point last year, but recently declined amid concerns about the currency’s volatility.
