Swedish buy-now-pay-later fintech giant Klarna plans to integrate cryptocurrencies into its platform, according to CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski. Siemiatkowski acknowledged that Klarna was one of the last major fintech players to enter the crypto space and sought input from the crypto community on implementation strategies. Suggestions included settling merchant transactions in stablecoins and integrating crypto wallets for direct payments. Siemiatkowski, who was initially skeptical about crypto assets, recognized their promise but cautioned against promoting them as financial investment products without protection. Klarna's competitor, Affirm, had previously launched a crypto program but discontinued it.
