The pilot project will enable cryptocurrency owners to turn Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Stellar (XLM), XRP, and EOS into cash at the post offices.

For now, the service is currently available at three post offices in Zadar to assess the market interest for this service. If successful, Croatian Post is willing to expand its service to major Croatian cities and tourist centers.

Electrocoin, the partner of Post Office in this project, offers brokerage services for cryptocurrency for five years. According to the company’s website, Electrocoin services are available throughout the European Union.
