US-based provider of merchant solutions, Aliant, has announced that it will add Litecoin to its system. A peer-to-peer digital currency, Litecoinoffers incredibly low costs and instant payments globally. Fully decentralised with no central authority regulating the platform, individuals using Litecoin have full control over their funds.

This latest news from the payment provider comes after Aliant\'s offering of Ethereum and Bitcoin payments. Eric Brown, CEO, said the choice to include Litecoin was as a result of the digital asset being increasingly viewed as an everyday payment method. He added that Litecoin had seemingly gained the trust of the cryptocurrency market and urged people to pay at bars, petrol stations, shops, and other places using Litecoin.

As prices continue to remain unstable, many experts have set aside Bitcoin. However, Brown says there is a place for Bitcoin when purchasing expensive products and services. He also stated that the partnership between Aliant and NetCents Technology Inc will further help digital currency to become incorporated into their platform.

It has also been revealed that Aliant is currently developing Poynt, a retail terminal that will offer users the opportunity to purchase goods using digital currency directly. There are already an increasing number of Bitcoin ATMs, and this latest development will aid in digital currency being used more easily around the world.
