Raftaar
Although cryptocurrencies are a ways from being accepted as legal tender, popular Indian rapper, Raftaar, has announced that he will start accepting cryptocurrencies as a performance fee — and he’s the first Indian artiste to do so.
“Blockchain has the potential to expedite a seamless experience for anyone involved with generating or interacting with music. I'm happy to welcome this new transactional paradigm with my longtime business associate Raftaar who truly is a pioneering voice of this new generation,” he said.
Some other popular artists who accept crypto payments include 50 Cent, Mariah Carey, G-Eazy, Sia, Fall Out Boy, the Backstreet Boys, and Lana Del Rey among others.
