#美国终止政府关闭 Can Bitcoin be used to pay for tuition directly? That's right, this has really happened.



The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Business School has just announced: it has become the first top university in Asia to accept Bitcoin payments. Tuition fees can be settled with cryptocurrencies, and donations are also accepted. Digital assets have entered the ivory tower so openly for the first time.

Who benefits the most? Two types of people are smiling broadly:

Parents of students holding crypto assets can directly pay tuition fees with their digital currency, eliminating the need for conversion. Exchange rate fluctuations? Intermediary fees? All bypassed.

Overseas donors - cross-border transfers arrive instantly, the slow process of traditional bank wire transfers can be thrown away. Donation efficiency is maximized.

HKU's move is bold enough. It not only solidifies Hong Kong's determination to build an international virtual asset hub but also transforms Bitcoin from a purely investment target into a real and usable payment method. When higher education meets blockchain technology, and digital currency penetrates everyday consumption - the boundaries of finance are being redefined.

Who will be the next to open cryptocurrency payments? Healthcare, real estate, or government services? Drop a comment and share your guess.
