SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BitTorrent Inc., a leader in peer-to-peer protocols and products, announced that CoinPayments now supports BitTorrent (BTT), enabling millions of customers to use BitTorrent (BTT) to purchase goods and services from hundreds of online merchants.

BitTorrent, which already works closely with CoinPayments to accept TRON (TRX), Bitcoin (BTC), and Binance (BNB) for its premium products, today announced that customers can also pay in BitTorrent (BTT). One-year subscriptions for BitTorrent and µTorrent plans offer file conversion, streaming in HD quality and protection from virus and malware.

"Coming this summer, BitTorrent Speed will be implemented into our popular Windows-based µTorrent Classic client to create a healthier ecosystem and a foundation where content creators can distribute their work directly across the web," said Justin Sun, founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent. "In advance of this highly anticipated release, we look forward to working with CoinPayments and other partners to make BitTorrent (BTT) liquid in the online marketplace before BTT is fully integrated into our desktop and mobile products."
