Starting in January 2025, Travala will offer booking options using sBTC and STX, marking a significant step in making cryptocurrencies more applicable in daily life.

What's the Big Deal?

sBTC, powered by Stacks Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2), is reshaping Bitcoin’s real-world payment capabilities. Unlike traditional Bitcoin transactions that may take up to 10 minutes, sBTC ensures payments in just 5–10 seconds. Juan Otero, CEO of Travala, exclaimed: “With sBTC, travelers can enjoy faster Bitcoin transactions, providing a seamless booking experience.”
