The technological advancement, the logical thinking, the complexity of mining the cryptocurrencies, the bullish and bearish phenomenon, all have been accepted by today’s generation and to be fair, cryptocurrency in particular from the Web3 world is in its pursuit to revolutionize the entire financial market across the globe.

Schultz mentioned that Starbucks will soon launch a new Web3 “digital project” that will enhance the company’s loyalty programme during the company’s fiscal Q3 results call on Tuesday.
The new digital program is tipped off to engage with the emotional quotient of the customers. The new program will basically be an upgraded version of current reward program which is of the module Spend-to-earn.
