大品牌如何在 2025 年運用加密貨幣:從星巴克獎勵到特斯拉代幣支付

加密貨幣與區塊鏈科技已逐步滲透至全球最知名企業的營運策略。到了 2025 年,這項曾被視為小眾科技實驗的工具,已成為零售巨擘、精品品牌、車廠、社群媒體平台等主流行業正式採用的商業利器。從咖啡館的忠誠會員計劃到名車購買,大型品牌於全球各地探索加密貨幣的應用型態。

近期調查顯示,60% 的財星 500 強企業正積極投入區塊鏈專案。許多企業視數位資產為吸引顧客、簡化支付流程甚至取得創新領先地位的方法。本文將全面解析主要品牌現今如何運用加密貨幣,舉例說明實際案例、背後動機與遇到的挑戰,並以資訊豐富和理性客觀的語調進行闡述。

並非每次嘗試都大獲成功。以星巴克為例,該公司曾隆重推出基於 NFT 的獎勵計劃,卻在不到兩年後悄悄結束。另一方面,Elon Musk 主導下的特斯拉則因開放汽車接受比特幣購買(後來又取消)和商店接受狗狗幣,讓加密貨幣成為大型企業關注的焦點。各行各業不乏類似案例:全球品牌積極嘗試加密支付、代幣化的會員福利、NFT 創意行銷,甚至以比特幣納入公司金庫。儘管做法大不相同,但共通點是加密貨幣早已不是金融科技新創或極客小圈子的專利——如今它已成為家喻戶曉大企業董事會的重要議題。

本文將探討品牌採用加密貨幣的幾個主要面向,包括忠誠獎勵計劃、以加密貨幣作為付款選項、品牌自發行代幣或穩定幣、NFT 及元宇宙的興衰,以及金融、科技巨頭如何推動加密貨幣普及。文中將說明各品牌進入加密領域的動機、消費者反應及遇到的障礙。目標是客觀深入地剖析 2025 年品牌加密貨幣應用現況,內容涵蓋了星巴克獎勵到特斯拉代幣支付等多元場景。

區塊鏈革新會員獎勵:星巴克與代幣化獎勵風潮

最知名將加密技術結合深受喜愛會員獎勵計劃的案例,來自星巴克。2022 年底,星巴克推出“Starbucks Odyssey”,這是結合區塊鏈代幣(NFT)並將顧客互動遊戲化的星巴克會員計劃延伸版。消費者可在 Polygon 網絡完成問答、購買或線上互動後,獲得可收藏的 NFT「印章」,再兌換獨家優惠。這是主流品牌於忠誠行銷創新上的大膽 Web3 嘗試。

一個星巴克星冰樂杯。這家咖啡巨頭於 2022 年以 Odyssey 區塊鏈會員計劃進軍加密領域,透過發行 NFT「印章」獎勵顧客參與。 然而,儘管初期科技圈熱情參與,Odyssey 試行並不長久。2024 年 3 月 15 日,星巴克宣布該計劃將在月底前終止。公司並未公開說明終止主因,只稱「正在為接下來的忠誠革新做準備」。分析普遍認為有幾項關鍵因素:首先,星巴克太晚投入 NFT 風潮,2021~22 年 NFT 熱潮快速退燒,2023 年時大多數消費者已不再追捧 NFT,「星巴克推行時間點太晚,NFT 市場價值已大幅下滑。」另一關鍵則是 Odyssey 可能違反了會員計劃「簡單至上」的黃金法則——傳統星巴克獎勵「買咖啡、集星星、換飲品」的模式直觀簡單,深得人心,而 Odyssey 則加入 NFT 印章與 “Odyssey Points” 的雙軌複雜設計,取得與交易方式繁瑣,讓多數消費者難以理解,價值主張變得模糊。有忠誠度專家形容:「消費者想要簡便流暢體驗……[Odyssey]設計太多關卡了。」

儘管星巴克 NFT 嘗試未盡如人意,也不是全然失敗。公司成功實驗了「打造社群與忠誠度」的新方法,並表示從中獲益良多,暗示日後可能以新形式再推類似構想。事實上,星巴克並非唯一將區塊鏈結合會員獎勵的品牌。2023 年,漢莎航空亦在 Polygon 推出 Uptrip NFT 會員計劃,旅客可因搭機蒐集數位卡牌並兌換貴賓室或哩程等福利;軟性啟動階段已有兩萬人參加、總兌換逾二十萬張卡片。其他旅遊與餐飲品牌也對代幣獎勵感興趣,期待提升參與度,甚至讓各計劃積分能於區塊鏈互通、增加流動性。比方說,在法定承認比特幣的薩爾瓦多,星巴克分店也直接接受比特幣付款,讓會員積分與「真實貨幣」界線更模糊。

根本上,任何創新必須為消費者帶來附加價值而非增加困擾。星巴克 Odyssey 的經驗顯示,光有新鮮感還不夠,加密會員計劃必須如同傳統方案一樣直觀易懂。簡單、清楚的好處才是關鍵。NFT 熱度退潮後,不少公司也縮減相關計劃。例如,GameStop 於 2023 年關閉 NFT 市集;Meta(Facebook/Instagram)將 NFT 功能緊急下架。儘管如此,忠誠會員和行銷仍是區塊鏈應用熱區。Reddit 的「收藏頭像」(Polygon 免費 NFT 頭像)成功將數百萬用戶引入 Web3,僅是以「數位收藏品」重新包裝 NFT。而 Nike 併購 RTFKT 數位時尚工作室後,打造出結合會員與直銷的 NFT 球鞋社群。Nike 各式 NFT(如 CryptoKicks 球鞋、虛擬球衣等)帶來逾 1.85 億美元營收,堪稱 NFT 產業最成功品牌。其它時尚龍頭,如 Dolce & Gabbana、Tiffany & Co.、Gucci、Adidas 等,各自在 NFT 計劃於 2022 年獲得 1,000-2,500 萬美金收入,雖不及 Nike,仍不可小覷。這些數字說明只要策略正確,NFT 可為企業創造全新消費與互動管道,具重大發展潛力。

總結來說,會員獎勵雖具挑戰性,仍是加密貨幣應用領域最具吸引力的場域之一。星巴克的實驗彰顯代幣化會員既能深化顧客支持,也面臨複雜性與興趣下滑的風險。未來,企業可能會將區塊鏈「隱形」運作於幕後,讓用戶介面維持原有熟悉感,提高服務附加價值。只要消費者幾乎感受不到「加密」本質,卻能獲得更多權益或彈性,品牌忠誠度就極有可能成為加密主流化的重要突破口。

加密貨幣支付:從特斯拉到麥當勞

品牌採納加密貨幣最直觀的方式,莫過於直接接受數位貨幣用於商品或服務結帳。早在 2010 年代中期,微軟、Overstock 等科技公司就已嘗試接受比特幣支付,但直到 2021 年特斯拉帶動大規模討論時,才引發大企業進場高潮。2021 年 2 月,特斯拉宣布購入 15 億美元比特幣,並開放以 BTC 購車,引爆市場狂熱。特斯拉果然於該年春短暫接受比特幣購新車。然而,這項大膽舉措很快按下暫停鍵:Elon Musk 稍後以比特幣挖礦造成環保疑慮為由,於 2021 年 5 月叫停比特幣結帳。這樣的轉折反映出加密支付面臨的主要挑戰——匯率波動與 ESG 環境爭議,成為許多藍籌品牌對日常接受比特幣仍趨保守的主因。

不過特斯拉並未完全放棄加密貨幣,而是以輕鬆幽默的方式轉向狗狗幣(Dogecoin),開放其官方商店商品以狗狗幣付費。2022 年 1 月,特斯拉開放官網商品(如「Giga Texas」腰帶、爆紅的 Cyberwhistle)可用狗狗幣結帳,消息一出 DOGE 價格立刻上漲 14%,充分展現 Musk 對加密市場的獨特影響力。特斯拉網站部分商品標明價格為 DOGE,並允許使用者連結狗狗幣錢包支付,公司也特別提醒「特斯拉僅接受狗狗幣,匯入其他加密貨幣一律無法追回」。這種新鮮有趣的結合方式(畢竟狗狗幣起初只是個玩笑)深受科技圈和特斯拉鐵粉喜愛——有分析就指出 Dogecoin-priced goods were selling out even faster than those priced in dollars, calling it “an illustration of crypto's continued penetration of corporate culture”.
Dogecoin 價格的商品甚至比以美元計價的商品賣得更快,這被稱為「加密貨幣持續滲透企業文化的寫照」。截至 2025 年,特斯拉的 Dogecoin 實驗仍在進行中——你可以用 DOGE 購買 T 恤或馬克杯——但該公司尚未恢復用比特幣購車,也沒有擴展到其他加密貨幣。事實上,特斯拉在 2022 年披露,已經出售了約 75% 的比特幣持有資產(但仍保留一部分),顯示其在資產負債表上對加密貨幣持謹慎立場。至於馬斯克個人,仍然是加密貨幣的強力支持者,他曾暗示未來 Twitter(在他收購後已更名為 X)可能會整合加密支付——這或許成為特斯拉影響力在金融科技領域展現的另一條渠道。

Tesla’s mixed journey aside, many other household-name brands have dipped their toes into crypto payments.
撇開特斯拉曲折的歷程不談,還有許多家喻戶曉的品牌也開始嘗試加密貨幣支付。

Perhaps surprisingly, a luxury automaker has been among the most aggressive: Ferrari.
出乎意料的是,一家豪華汽車製造商成為行動最積極者之一:法拉利。2023 年底,法拉利宣布已開始在美國接受加密貨幣購買高端跑車,並計劃於 2024 年擴展到歐洲經銷商。這項決策是「回應市場的需求」——換句話說,法拉利的富裕客戶要求用加密貨幣付款。法拉利行銷主管解釋:「我們許多客戶都投資了加密貨幣」,其中有些是靠加密致富的年輕創業家,也有追求資產多元化的傳統投資者。法拉利通過支付處理商 BitPay,允許買家用比特幣、以太幣或 USDC 穩定幣購車。值得注意的是,價格仍以法幣標示(無加密貨幣價值波動風險),BitPay 會即時將加密貨幣兌換成歐元或美元給經銷商,讓法拉利免於波動。「透過加密貨幣付款,不收任何手續費也無附加費」,法拉利強調他們想讓購買體驗和普通銷售一樣順暢。法拉利也正面回應了環保疑慮:指出主流幣種越來越節能(如以太坊轉型為權益證明 PoS),並表示接受加密貨幣並不會影響公司 2030 年的碳中和目標。本質上,法拉利發現了真正的客戶需求——加密幣富裕買家——並在符合法規與永續發展界限內找到服務方式。到了 2024 年年中,部分法拉利門市已可看到躍馬標誌旁標明可接受比特幣、以太幣付款。這幅畫面強烈展示了加密貨幣逐漸常態化:一個人可以直接走進展間,開著用加密貨幣付清的六位數價格法拉利離開。

A barber shop in El Salvador advertises that Bitcoin is accepted for haircuts. After El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender in 2021, global brands like McDonald’s and Starbucks had to begin accepting Bitcoin at their outlets in the country.
薩爾瓦多的一家理髮店張貼告示,表示剪髮服務接受比特幣付款。自從薩爾瓦多 2021 年將比特幣列為法定貨幣後,像麥當勞、星巴克這樣的全球品牌,也不得不在當地門市開始接受比特幣支付。

Beyond headline-grabbing cases like Tesla and Ferrari, everyday retail and food brands have also warmed to crypto payments, often through third-party facilitators.
除了特斯拉、法拉利這類吸睛案例,日常零售及餐飲品牌也逐漸接受加密貨幣支付,通常透過第三方機構實現。如麥當勞、Subway 和星巴克等速食品牌,從 2021 年起因應薩爾瓦多的比特幣法,開始在該國接受比特幣(BTC)與美元並行付款。影片中薩國民眾用極速的比特幣交易買大麥克或拿鐵,成為網路熱門話題,展現出即便是保守的跨國企業也能配合當地法規彈性調整。在其他國家,則以自願方式推動:美國星巴克於 2021 年與 Bakkt 合作,讓顧客可將加密貨幣兌換儲值進 Starbucks Card(間接用加密貨幣買咖啡);歐洲部分 Subway 連鎖也已透過 Lightning Network 收比特幣。2022 年起,Gucci、Balenciaga 等多家精品時裝品牌宣布部分門市開放加密貨幣支付,主要針對高資產客層,並與(如 BitPay)等支付服務商合作完成兌換。知名連鎖電影院 AMC Theatres 推出網路購票和食品攤位可用加密貨幣支付的功能,支援比特幣、以太幣、狗狗幣等多種加密幣,整合於行動錢包應用程式內。電商方面,Shopify 已支援數千家獨立商戶與加密支付閘道整合,Overstock.com(自 2014 年以來的先驅)至今依然接受並持有多種加密幣。

Still, it’s important to stress that crypto payments in 2025 remain a niche slice of overall transactions.
不過,必須強調的是,到了 2025 年,加密貨幣支付在總體交易中依然屬於小眾市場。絕大多數大型品牌尚未直接在主流銷售中接受比特幣或其他數位貨幣。波動性是障礙之一——沒有財務長會希望昨天收到的 5 萬美元比特幣車款,到季末卻只剩 4 萬或變成 6 萬美金價值。法規不確定性也是一大難題,尤其是在美國,關於加密貨幣商業應用及稅務處理的規則極為複雜。消費端需求雖在成長,但仍未壓倒性勝過信用卡或行動支付,多數消費者覺得信用卡/行動支付比起結帳時摸索加密錢包的 QR 碼更為便利。迄今各大品牌採納加密支付多半出於(a)行銷公關考量——例如:“特斯拉接受狗狗幣”讓公司免費上頭條、討好加密粉絲;以及(b)實際應用情境,如服務加密資產持有比例高的客群(法拉利的案例)、或讓跨境客人更容易付款。而在後者場景中,穩定幣漸漸展現吸引力。像 USDC 或 USDT 這種以美元 1:1 錨定的穩定幣,能消除波動性,同時保有加密幣的優勢——全球快速、不可逆轉、低手續費交易。現今已有支付處理商和信用卡網路陸續整合穩定幣機制,預告著未來加密幣會在幕後無縫運作。例如 Visa 已經用 USDC 穩定幣試點 merchant acquirer 結算,甚至利用如 Solana 這類更快的區塊鏈提升速度。Mastercard 也跟相關加密企業合作(如 MoonPay),讓網路內可實現加密與法幣間即時兌換。這些功能對最終消費者幾乎隱形,但卻說明支付巨頭正為穩定幣與央行數位貨幣(CBDC)隨時成為商業日常準備。對於高通膨或銀行體系不穩的市場,穩定幣早已成千上萬人每天透過本地 fintech app 消費購物的選擇——全球品牌若想打進這些市場,理當不能忽視這個趨勢。

In summary, paying with crypto has gone from a quirky publicity stunt to a realistic option in certain contexts by 2025.
總結來說,到了 2025 年,用加密貨幣付款已從新奇的噱頭變成某些情境下的實際可行選項。你或許還不能直接用比特幣繳 Netflix 或 Amazon 的帳單,但你可以用加密貨幣買 AirBaltic 機票、在 Newegg 或 Rakuten 購買 3C 產品,或是通過合作夥伴於 Expedia 預訂飯店。隨著法規愈加明確、穩定幣使用率升高,預期會有更多企業整合加密貨幣支付,特別是技術較易整合的線上通路。最終局面或許不會是人人都用比特幣買咖啡,而是在背後默默運作:顧客照常用美元付款,但商家收到的可能是即時轉換、免手續費的穩定幣結算。換句話說,加密幣或可簡化支付基礎建設,而前台體驗則保持熟悉。現在開始接受加密付款的品牌,正搶先掌握這類新支付態勢,為數位貨幣未來像 Apple Pay 或 PayPal 一樣稀鬆平常的那一天做足準備。

Big Brands Issuing Coins: Corporate Tokens and Stablecoins

<!-- markdown image link, skip translation -->

While some companies are content to accept existing cryptocurrencies, others have taken a step further – creating or considering their own crypto tokens.
有些公司滿足於接受現成加密貨幣,另一些則更進一步——著手發行甚至構思自己的加密代幣。這類舉措極其敏感,容易惹來監管關注(Facebook 黑歷史“Libra”計劃就是前車之鑑),但到了 2025 年,市場上仍有幾個值得注意的進展。最受矚目的例子來自美國金融科技巨擘 PayPal:2023 年 8 月推出其專屬美元掛鉤穩定幣 PayPal USD(PYUSD)。這是美國主流金融品牌首次發行穩定幣。PayPal 的穩定幣與受監管的區塊鏈公司 Paxos 合作發行,完全以現金儲備為擔保,專為 PayPal 生態無縫運作而設計。構想是讓逾 4 億 PayPal 用戶未來能即時用 PYUSD 轉帳、消費,或支付商家,商家可即時兌回本地貨幣,手續費和結算成本遠低於傳統刷卡流程。至 2025 年,PayPal 穩定幣仍逐步推廣中,但已顯現出一個大趨勢:知名消費品牌也開始借助穩定幣強化支付服務。

Other tech behemoths have stablecoin ambitions too.
科技巨頭也紛紛覬覦穩定幣領域。2025 年 6 月的報告指出,至少有四家矽谷大廠——Apple、Google、X(Twitter)及 Airbnb——已在探索穩定幣整合,以降低交易費、優化跨境支付。各家進展程度不一:Google 似乎已走在前頭,據傳已內部試行部分穩定幣支付功能。Airbnb 則與支付商討論運用穩定幣,減少自己和房東目前需繳信用卡網路的高額分潤。馬斯克的 X(前稱 Twitter)近期也在美國多州悄悄取得金流許可證,鋪路開發支付功能,未來或整合加密貨幣——馬斯克自己就曾公開暢想 X「萬能應用」中加入狗狗幣或其他加密支付。至於以保密聞名的 Apple,則尚未公開宣布任何...public, but insiders suggest Apple is evaluating how stablecoins might reduce the ~3% interchange fees on its App Store and Apple Pay transactions. The attraction is clear: stablecoins could allow near-instant settlement of payments at virtually no cost, saving companies and consumers billions in fees. Stablecoins have arguably become crypto’s first mainstream use case, with global stablecoin market capitalization soaring 90% from January 2024 to mid-2025 (from $131 billion to about $249 billion in circulation). When Stripe – one of the largest online payment processors – acquired a stablecoin startup in late 2024 for $1+ billion, Fortune called it the “starting gun” for Silicon Valley to take stablecoins seriously.

不過,內部人士透露,蘋果正在評估穩定幣如何有助於降低App Store和Apple Pay交易約3%的交換手續費。吸引力顯而易見:穩定幣可讓支付幾乎即時結算,且成本極低,為企業和消費者省下數十億美元的手續費。穩定幣可說已成為加密貨幣首次真正的大眾應用案例,從2024年1月至2025年中,全球穩定幣市值激增90%(從1,310億美元到約2,490億美元流通)。當大型線上金流商Stripe在2024年底以超過10億美元收購一家穩定幣新創時,Fortune雜誌甚至形容這是矽谷嚴肅看待穩定幣的「起跑槍」。

That said, regulators are watching closely when Big Tech and big finance dabble in issuing currency-like tokens. In the U.S., Congress has been debating the “Stablecoin GENIUS Act” (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act) to lay down rules for stablecoin issuers. Lawmakers have expressed unease at the notion of tech giants effectively creating private money that could compete with the dollar’s role. There’s talk of adding provisions to ban Big Tech firms from issuing their own stablecoins, forcing them instead to use regulated third-party coins like USDC or USDT. Memories of Facebook’s Libra (later Diem) project loom large – in 2019, Facebook unveiled plans for a global stablecoin governed by a consortium, but backlash from central banks and politicians was swift and severe. By early 2022, the Diem project was wound down without launch, serving as a cautionary tale. Apple and Google have no desire to repeat that political firestorm. Thus, their approach seems to be to partner or use existing coins rather than launch an “AppleCoin” outright. Airbnb’s CEO Brian Chesky once hinted at crypto integration after thousands of customers requested it, but any proprietary token from Airbnb would raise securities questions, so supporting established crypto assets is the likely route.

儘管如此,當科技巨頭或大型金融機構涉足發行類似貨幣的代幣時,監管機構仍嚴密關注。在美國,國會目前正討論《穩定幣GENIUS法案》(全名:美國穩定幣引導與創新國家法案),準備建立發行穩定幣的遊戲規則。立法者對於科技巨頭實質上創造可與美元功能競爭的私人貨幣表達了憂慮。有聲音建議加入條款,禁止科技大廠發行自己專屬的穩定幣,強迫他們改用如USDC或USDT這類受監管的第三方幣。社會對Facebook Libra(後改名Diem)計畫的記憶仍猶新——2019年,Facebook推出全球穩定幣計畫,計劃由一個財團治理,不過央行及政治人物反彈劇烈,導致2022年初Diem計畫還沒上線就終止,成為警世案例。蘋果與Google均不願重蹈政治風暴覆轍,因此傾向與他方合作或採用既有幣種,而不是直接推出「AppleCoin」。Airbnb執行長Brian Chesky曾在上千名用戶要求後暗示考慮加密整合,但若Airbnb發行自家代幣勢必涉及證券爭議,因此最有可能的路徑仍是支援既有加密資產。

Outside of stablecoins, some brands have toyed with bespoke tokens for customer use. For instance, fashion brand LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) helped develop a private blockchain (Aura) to track luxury goods and considered tokenizing those products, though not a public crypto per se. Fan tokens issued by sports teams (like FC Barcelona’s $BAR or Paris Saint-Germain’s $PSG tokens on the Socios platform) show how brands can create their own digital assets to monetize fan engagement globally. These fan tokens often grant holders voting rights on minor club decisions or access to VIP perks, effectively functioning as a cross between loyalty points and mini cryptocurrencies. By 2025, dozens of major sports brands – from European football clubs to Formula 1 teams – have launched such tokens. The reception has been mixed: while they do generate revenue and engagement, critics argue that fan tokens are highly volatile and many fans don’t fully understand the financial risk (especially when teams underperform and token prices drop). Nonetheless, they represent a new way brands are minting value from their communities via crypto.

除了穩定幣之外,也有品牌嘗試為消費者創造專屬代幣。例如精品集團LVMH(路易威登酩悅軒尼詩)協助打造私人區塊鏈平台Aura,以追蹤精品真偽,同時考慮將產品代幣化,但並非真正公開流通的加密貨幣。體育隊伍發行的粉絲代幣(如巴塞隆納的$BAR或巴黎聖日耳曼Socios平台上的$PSG等),顯示品牌能以自創數位資產,來全球化賺取粉絲參與的價值。這些粉絲幣通常賦予持有者對小型球隊決策的投票權,或者獲得VIP禮遇,性質介於忠誠積分與迷你加密貨幣之間。到2025年,數十個主要運動品牌——從歐洲足球俱樂部到一級方程式車隊——都發行了此類代幣。市場反應兩極:雖然帶來營收並提升互動,但批評者認為這些代幣波動劇烈,多數球迷未必理解其中的財務風險(特別是成績不佳、代幣價跌時更明顯)。然而,這代表品牌透過加密貨幣從社群「鑄造價值」的新方式。

It’s worth noting another form of corporate crypto asset: the NFT membership or “digital twin” token. We touched on loyalty NFTs earlier with Starbucks, but beyond loyalty, some brands have issued NFTs tied to physical products or VIP memberships. For example, Porsche released NFT digital art linked to its iconic 911 model (though a poorly received launch in early 2023 highlighted the importance of understanding the NFT community’s expectations). Budweiser and Coca-Cola have both dropped limited-edition NFTs for marketing campaigns – Budweiser sold NFT beer can designs, and Coca-Cola auctioned NFTs with special experiences attached, often for charity. These aren’t fungible “coins” per se, but they indicate brands creating digital assets unique to their identity. In the realm of metaverse and gaming, tokens and virtual currencies have also been used by brands: e.g., Nike’s RTFKT might issue tokens within a virtual sneaker game, or Starbucks may yet return with a more refined blockchain-based reward token after Odyssey, perhaps one not even marketed as an NFT to users.

值得一提的是企業加密資產的另一種形式:NFT會員卡或「數位分身」憑證。我們先前提過星巴克的忠誠NFT,但更進一步,有些品牌直接發行與實體產品或VIP會員權益綁定的NFT。例如保時捷推出結合標誌性911車型的NFT數位藝術品(不過2023年初的發行反應低迷,顯示理解NFT社群期待的重要性)。百威、可口可樂等品牌也都在行銷活動中推出限量NFT——百威販售NFT啤酒罐設計,可口可樂拍賣附帶特殊體驗的NFT,且多捐作公益。這些嚴格來說不是可互換「幣種」,但反映出品牌創造專屬於自身精神和身分的數位資產。在元宇宙或遊戲領域,也有品牌導入代幣與虛擬貨幣,例如Nike的RTFKT可能在虛擬球鞋遊戲中發行代幣,或者星巴克在Odyssey之後推出更精緻的區塊鏈獎勵代幣,甚至不再明說它是NFT。

Lastly, we should mention how corporations are increasingly stockpiling existing cryptocurrencies on their balance sheets, effectively issuing themselves a crypto exposure. This isn’t creating a new coin, but it’s a significant trend of brands treating crypto as a strategic asset. We saw the beginning with Tesla’s big Bitcoin buy in 2021. Now in 2025, public companies hold a record amount of crypto: by Q1 2025, publicly traded firms held over 688,000 BTC combined (over 3% of all Bitcoin), a 16% increase from the previous quarter. These include not just crypto-centric firms but retailers like GameStop, which in May 2025 disclosed a purchase of 4,710 BTC (over $500 million worth at the time) as part of its new corporate investment policy. GameStop’s embrace of Bitcoin – raising funds to build a BTC treasury – shows how even companies outside finance see crypto as a reserve asset to potentially hedge inflation or ride an anticipated price upswing. The fear of missing out is palpable: when one company publicly profits from a crypto bet (as MicroStrategy famously did, or GameStop hopes to), competitors wonder if they should follow. It’s gotten easier for firms to hold crypto now that accounting rules have changed to allow marking assets at fair value (so companies can report gains when crypto prices recover, not just impairments when they fall, as was the case under old rules). This removal of an accounting headache in late 2024 has made CFOs more open to dipping into Bitcoin. Still, not everyone is convinced – Meta’s shareholders voted down a proposal to add Bitcoin to the balance sheet, and similar shareholder ideas at Amazon and Microsoft were also rejected. Many executives remain wary of crypto’s volatility and regulatory uncertainties.

最後,值得一提的是,各大企業近年來愈發將現有加密貨幣納入自家財報,等同於主動買進加密曝險。這雖非創造新幣,但已成為品牌將加密當作戰略資產的重要趨勢。這一脈絡最早可追溯到特斯拉2021年大舉買進比特幣。到了2025年,上市公司持有加密貨幣的金額創新高:截至2025年第一季,所有上市企業合計共持有超過688,000枚比特幣(佔全網供應逾3%),比前一季增長16%。這當中並不僅限於加密產業本身,也包括GameStop這類零售商。GameStop在2025年5月披露買進4,710枚比特幣(當時市值超過5億美元)作為企業投資政策之新方向。GameStop大舉擁抱比特幣——籌資建立自家BTC庫存——顯示即使非金融產業公司,也視加密貨幣為對抗通膨或迎接可能行情的儲備資產。市場上「錯過恐懼症」(FOMO)明顯升溫:當某家公司公開透露靠加密投資獲利(如MicroStrategy著名案例,或GameStop的野心),其他競爭對手必然心生跟進念頭。近來會計規則修正,允許用公平市價標記加密資產(即加密漲價可列入帳上增益,跌價亦可減損,不再僅限於減損處理),讓企業持有加密貨幣變得更容易。2024年底會計包袱解除之後,許多財務長也終於願意接觸比特幣。不過,並非每家公司都同意——Meta股東否決了納入BTC的提案,AmazonMicrosoft也有類似提案被否決。高階經理人對於加密貨幣波動大、監管局勢未明仍相當謹慎。

In conclusion, some of the world’s biggest brands are indeed venturing to issue or adopt crypto assets in-house, whether stablecoins for payments, community tokens for fans, or NFTs for product experiences. The overarching strategy is to harness what crypto offers (speed, global reach, engagement, or store-of-value) without running afoul of laws or alienating users. It’s a delicate balancing act. Those companies that succeed – such as PayPal with a well-regulated stablecoin, or Nike with culturally resonant NFTs – are often those that partner with crypto-native firms and focus on real user value. Those that misstep (Facebook’s Libra, or a poorly executed token drop) serve as cautionary examples that in the crypto space, even big brands must earn trust and navigate a complex regulatory maze.

總結來說,全球幾大指標品牌確實正積極嘗試內部發行或採用加密資產,不論是用於支付的穩定幣、給粉絲的社群代幣,還是產品體驗的NFT。其總體策略是善用加密貨幣所帶來的優勢(速度、全球化、用戶參與度或儲值功能),並設法不違法亦不疏離用戶,這中間拿捏極為細膩。真正成功的品牌——如受監管完善的PayPal穩定幣、或有文化共鳴的Nike NFT——常與原生加密業者合作,並聚焦實際用戶價值。反之,踏錯(如Facebook Libra或草率發行代幣)就成為前車之鑑——在加密世界,即便是大品牌也必須贏取信任、摸清複雜監管脈絡。

NFTs and the Metaverse: Branding in the Digital Age

No discussion of brands using crypto is complete without examining the NFT (non-fungible token) boom and “metaverse” strategies that swept through corporate marketing departments in the early 2020s. At the height of NFT mania in 2021–2022, it seemed every brand – from fast food to high fashion – was scrambling to release some kind of digital collectible. The rationale was clear: NFTs offered a new medium to engage younger, digitally native audiences and unlock revenue from purely digital goods. By 2025, the initial hype has tempered, but many brands have established enduring NFT-based initiatives or at least gained valuable experience from pilot projects.

談品牌運用加密幣,若不回顧2020年代初席捲企業行銷部門的NFT(非同質化代幣)熱潮及「元宇宙」佈局,則不算完整。在2021–2022年NFT狂熱最高峰時期,幾乎每一個品牌——從速食到精品——都搶著要發行數位收藏品。動機很明確:NFT為品牌提供與年輕數位原生族群互動的新媒介,並從純數位商品開啟一條新營收管道。到了2025年,初期炒作已退燒,不過許多品牌已建立起長久的NFT專案,至少也從試點行動中獲得寶貴經驗。

The fashion and luxury sector has been particularly active. We noted earlier Nike’s massive success through RTFKT, which has effectively positioned Nike as a leader in digital wearable collectibles. Rival Adidas jumped in with its own NFT collaboration in late 2021, partnering with popular collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club and others to launch the “Into the Metaverse” NFT series. Adidas sold thousands of NFTs that granted holders exclusive streetwear merchandise and access to online metaverse experiences, signalling that even a 70-year-old apparel brand can reinvent some marketing via blockchain. Gucci likewise made waves: it not only began accepting crypto at some stores, but also issued branded NFTs and bought virtual land in The Sandbox metaverse to create a Gucci-themed digital environment. By 2023, Gucci had partnered with Yuga Labs (the Bored Ape creators) on a project, invested in an NFT marketplace, and released luxury NFTs like the Gucci “Superplastic” collectibles, underscoring that high-end brands see NFTs as an extension of their storytelling and exclusivity in the digital realm.

時尚與精品產業活動尤其熱絡。早前提過Nike透過RTFKT取得巨大成功,已將Nike塑造成數位穿戴式收藏品領導者。勁敵Adidas也於2021年底加入戰局,與Bored Ape Yacht Club等人氣NFT系列合作,推出「Into the Metaverse」NFT套組。Adidas賣出數千枚NFT,賦予持有者限量潮服及線上元宇宙體驗權益,證明連創立超過70年的服裝老牌,也能透區塊鏈重塑行銷手法。Gucci同樣話題十足:不僅有部分門市開始接受加密貨幣,更推出品牌NFT、於The Sandbox元宇宙購地建立Gucci主題數位世界。到2023年,Gucci與Bored Ape創造者Yuga Labs聯手合作、投資NFT市集,並發行Gucci「Superplastic」等奢侈品NFT,再次確認頂級品牌視NFT為延展數位敘事與專屬性的絕佳利器。

Luxury conglomerate LVMH launched several experiments: Louis Vuitton created “Louis: The Game” in 2021, a mobile game with embedded NFTs celebrating its founder’s bicentennial, and LVMH’s blockchain platform Aura (developed with Prada and Cartier) aims to issue NFT certificates of authenticity for luxury goods. Even jewelry got involved – Tiffany & Co. in 2022 sold an ultra-exclusive set of NFTs called “NFTiffs” that came with real diamond pendants for CryptoPunk owners, merging digital and physical luxury. Though only 250 NFTiffs existed (priced at 30 ETH each, around $50,000 at the time), they sold out quickly, demonstrating crypto’s reach into the upper echelons of consumerism.

精品集團LVMH也積極試水溫:Louis Vuitton於2021年推出《Louis: The Game》手機遊戲,內含NFT慶祝創辦人二百歲冥誕;Aura區塊鏈平台(與Prada及Cartier共同開發)則計劃為精品商品發行NFT真品保證書。珠寶業也來湊熱鬧——Tiffany & Co.於2022年推出超限量NFT「NFTiffs」,專為CryptoPunk持有者打造真鑽吊墜一次結合數位與實體奢華。雖只發行250件(當時單價30 ETH,約5萬美元),但很快售罄,證明加密消費力已滲透最頂級市場。

In entertainment, major franchises and media companies hopped on the NFT train. Disney licensed its characters for NFT collectibles on platforms like VeVe, dropping limited edition Marvel and Star Wars digital figurines that fans could buy, trade, and display in augmented reality. Warner Bros. released NFTs for The Matrix and even a special NFT version of “The Lord of the Rings” (bundling the film in 4K with collectible extras). These were exploratory moves to test consumer appetite for owning digital versions of beloved content. Sports leagues too found success: the NBA’s Top Shot platform, launched in

娛樂界各大IP與媒體集團也紛紛搶占NFT。迪士尼將旗下角色授權至VeVe等平台,推出限量Marvel、星際大戰數位公仔,粉絲可收藏、買賣、以AR展示。華納兄弟則發行了駭客任務NFT,甚至連魔戒都有特別版NFT(4K電影搭配獨家NFT收藏內容)。這些都是初步試水,考驗消費者對擁有心愛內容數位收藏版的接受度。體育聯盟同樣打響知名度:NBA的Top Shot平台於2020年,將精彩片段轉為NFT,成為最早走紅並獲主流球迷追捧的成功案例之一,一度有超過百萬用戶交易籃球“時刻”。到了2025年,雖然Top Shot的交易量不如巔峰期,但NBA與合作夥伴Dapper Labs證明,只要數位收藏品有趣且易於使用(Top Shot的信用卡友善託管模式甚至讓用戶無需理解區塊鏈),球迷也會欣然接受。NFL、MLB以及其他聯盟也隨後推出了自己的時刻與紀念品NFT市場。

與此同時,可口可樂、百事可樂、漢堡王及麥當勞等品牌,主要將NFT作為短期行銷活動。例如,可口可樂於2021年拍賣獨特NFT(像是“友誼驚喜箱”數位好禮包),為慈善募款並獲得正面公關效益。百事推出了“Mic Drop”NFT——卡通麥克風——免費發送用戶,將品牌與NFT文化聯結。漢堡王2021年舉辦“Burger King Real Meals” NFT收藏品行銷活動,甚至有NFT持有者能獲得一年華堡免費獎勵,把加密元素融入行銷策略。麥當勞中國2021年發行188件NFT藝術品慶祝周年紀念,麥當勞美國則針對粉絲推出限量McRib NFT作為獎勵。這些舉措時常偏向噱頭,但也展現連全球最大的食品品牌都在試驗以加密為基礎的顧客互動。

元宇宙這個流行詞同樣驅動品牌積極涉足加密相關應用。從沃爾瑪到三星、Nike等公司,都在Decentraland、Roblox等元宇宙平台打造虛擬店面或體驗。雖然不是所有元宇宙專案都用區塊鏈(例如Roblox是封閉系統),但販售虛擬物品與服飾的概念通常涉及NFT。Ralph Lauren和Zara推出元宇宙服飾;Balenciaga為Fortnite設計時裝外觀;正如前述,Nike在Roblox的Nikeland與Gucci的Sandbox世界,都是為沉浸式網路時代搶佔一席之地。這些行動的長期價值仍待驗證——懷疑者指出,去中心化元宇宙活躍用戶數仍極少——但品牌把這視為學習型投資。若未來元宇宙經濟真正起飛,他們希望能隨時用好自家智慧財產權和數位商品進場。這就像社群媒體初期,各品牌謹慎開設Facebook粉絲專頁“以防萬一”社群成為主流一樣(事實證明確實如此)。NFT這類加密元素讓用戶真正擁有虛擬物品,相較於傳統遊戲內購,品牌數位商品更具意義(也更具流通性)。

但這一切並非一帆風順。品牌進入NFT領域時,屢屢遭遇消費者反彈,特別來自擔心詐騙或環境衝擊的社群。例如,遊戲大廠育碧(Ubisoft) 2021年在某款遊戲引入NFT物件時,招致玩家強烈反對,認為這純粹是圈錢,最終使育碧縮減相關計畫。NFT的環保爭議(主要發生於以太坊尚未合併為權益證明(PoS)機制前)令部分品牌猶豫,雖然2022年9月後以太坊耗能已大減~99%,這方面顧慮已減輕。此外,還有跟風風險:批評者諷刺稱,一些企業投入NFT只是怕錯過熱門話題,而非有清楚的“為什麼”。例如Starbucks Odyssey,快公司當時精闢提問:“星巴克有沒有想清楚這個計畫背後的目的?還是單純追逐風潮?”某些案例中,確實策略並未考慮到目標用戶真正所需。

到了2025年,NFT市場已遠不如狂熱時期火熱。NFT交易量僅為泡沫高峰時的一小部分,許多NFT收藏品價格大幅下跌,一般消費者在餐桌上也難再聽到NFT的話題。但品牌卻低調地以更務實、不炒作的方式導入這項技術。前述提及的忠誠度計畫、粉絲收藏品,強調實用性或粉絲認同期望多於快速獲利。品牌還將NFT用於票券(例如部分活動發行NFT票,既是紀念品又能打擊偽造),以及顧客關係管理(想像汽車公司為車主提供一個NFT數位分身,記錄汽車維修歷史於區塊鏈)。這些隱性應用雖不如百萬美元NFT藝術銷售吸睛,卻或許更具長遠生命力。

總的來說,大品牌對NFT與元宇宙的探索,代表品牌經營步入新篇章——消費者的擁有權與參與感同步提升。若你持有某品牌NFT,不只是消費者,更躋身俱樂部一員(就像Adidas NFT持有者的感受),甚至因品牌成功而伴隨NFT增值獲益。這正顛覆傳統品牌-消費者關係,亦是許多人相信Web3能根本改變行銷邏輯的原因之一。現階段,品牌採不同層級投入:有些撤守(關閉反響平平的NFT專案);有些加碼(Nike打造整個.SWOOSH平台,把鞋迷帶進Web3)。隨著科技與消費者態度演進,品牌勢必會持續調整加密策略,將有意義的創新與純噱頭有所區分。

金融巨頭串起加密:華爾街及其延伸

companies-investing-in-blockchain--1024x1024.png.webp

除各零售品牌與娛樂企業外,值得注意的是,到了2025年,金融業巨頭和基礎設施供應商也已大力擁抱加密貨幣——這通常間接推動更多品牌參與。支付網絡、銀行和金融科技應用是連接加密世界和日常商業的關鍵樞紐,它們採用加密貨幣帶來乘數效應。之前提過,Visa和Mastercard都已將穩定幣集成進系統並與加密新創合作。這些公司花數十年建立支付信任與普及度,如今確保不會錯過加密交易成長帶來的機會。即使2023年初市場處於「加密寒冬」情緒,Visa及Mastercard仍聲明將持續推進加密整合,否認媒體稱兩者準備暫停進度的傳聞。到2024年底,Visa已擴大穩定幣清算試點合作夥伴,新增對歐元穩定幣EURC的支持。它們的願景明確:未來若商戶想收取USDC等穩定幣,不需銀行電匯,Visa網路可順暢處理。

Mastercard推出「Crypto Secure」協助銀行評估加密交易風險並推出合規加密卡服務;更推出 MasterCard Crypto Credentials 標準,驗證鏈上地址、打擊非法交易,顯示傳統金融界正積極處理安全與合規等痛點,這些皆原是阻礙機構進入加密世界的主因。2023年,Mastercard還聯手web3企業發行NFT簽帳卡,讓NFT持有者可用NFT資產消費。這類創新正模糊新舊金融的界線。

全球銀行與投資機構亦從研究轉向實際行動。例如Fidelity與貝萊德(BlackRock)開始向客戶開放加密投資選項。Fidelity自2022年底允許個人券商客戶交易比特幣、以太幣,甚至允許部分401(k)退休金方案納入比特幣資產(雇主需同意)。全球最大資產管理公司黑石(BlackRock)則為機構投資人推出比特幣私募信託,甚至2023年申請比特幣現貨ETF,這若成真將是加密投資主流化一大里程碑。到了2025年,美國比特幣ETF、甚至以太幣ETF能否開放,市場樂觀看待,有望解鎖更多傳統企業、退休基金配置少部分資產至加密市場。

同時,美國最老銀行BNY Mellon開始為機構客戶提供加密託管服務,Nasdaq也規劃加密託管業務——顯示安全存放加密資產本身是新興且高收益的產業。JP摩根(JPMorgan),其CEO曾痛批比特幣為騙局,後來自建JPM Coin用於內部結算,並設立整個Onyx區塊鏈部門,涵蓋傳統資產代幣化等多個專案。該行甚至於2022年用公有鏈Polygon交易代幣化債券,展現務實選用最佳技術的態度。高盛(Goldman Sachs)則設加密交易部門,還為客戶設計與加密資產掛鉤的結構性衍生品。在歐亞地區,從倫敦證交所到新加坡星展銀行,許多大型銀行與交易所都啟動數位資產交易平台或債券、碳權等代幣化試點。

為什麼這對大品牌有意義?因為這些金融巨頭的參與,讓非加密原生企業更容易、更安全涉足加密世界。中型零售連鎖店也許不懂如何自行持有比特幣,但藉由銀行託管服務便能輕鬆辦到。企業財務部某天也有可能像買黃金或指數基金一樣購買比特幣ETF。品牌希望用穩定幣付款給供應商或創作者以加速結算,將來也許自家銀行或Visa馬上能在系統底層辦到。簡言之,華爾街與支付產業正在完善加密的「上下交流道」,彌補了過去最重要的缺口。

此外,fintech apps that millions use daily have normalized crypto over the past few years. Cash App (Block, formerly Square) let users buy Bitcoin since 2018 and integrated Lightning Network withdrawals by 2022, so you can send Bitcoin instantly to anyone. Venmo and PayPal brought easy crypto buying to their massive user bases in 2021. Revolut in Europe, Robinhood, SoFi, Webull, and others – all have made crypto a tab in their apps alongside stocks and savings accounts. This means the average consumer who may trust a familiar brand (their bank or brokerage) can access crypto without venturing onto a specialized exchange like Coinbase. Indeed, a recent Coinbase-sponsored survey found one-third of U.S. small and mid-sized businesses now use crypto, double the number from a year prior, attributing part of this rise to easier access via fintech tools. And among large firms, 20% of Fortune 500 executives said on-chain crypto initiatives are a core part of their strategy going forward.

過去幾年,數百萬人每日常用的金融科技應用程式已經讓加密貨幣進入日常生活。Cash App(Block,前稱 Square)自 2018 年起允許用戶購買比特幣,到 2022 年更整合了 Lightning Network 提現功能,用戶能即時將比特幣傳送給任何人。Venmo 和 PayPal 在 2021 年向龐大的用戶群提供簡便的加密貨幣購買服務。歐洲的 Revolut、美國的 Robinhood、SoFi、Webull 等,也都在他們的應用程式內將加密貨幣作為一個主題標籤,與股票及儲蓄帳戶並列。這意味著一般消費者即使只信賴熟悉的品牌(如銀行或證券商),也無需登上如 Coinbase 等專門交易所就能接觸到加密貨幣。事實上,Coinbase 最近贊助的一項調查顯示,現今有三分之一美國中小企業使用加密貨幣,比一年前翻倍,部分原因正是金融科技工具帶來的方便。至於大型企業,有 20% 的《財富 500 強》高階主管表示,區塊鏈上的加密貨幣計畫已是未來公司策略的核心之一。

What’s holding some back? Primarily regulatory uncertainties and reputational risk. The U.S. regulatory climate, for example, has been ambiguous, with the SEC cracking down on some crypto products and Congress yet to pass comprehensive crypto laws (though efforts are underway). 90% of Fortune 500 executives surveyed said clear crypto regulation is needed to support innovation, underscoring that many companies are in “wait-and-see” mode until rules of the road are established. In Europe, the new MiCA regulation (Markets in Crypto-Assets) was approved in 2023 and will start applying in 2024–25, giving a single set of rules across EU nations. This clarity could make European brands more comfortable rolling out crypto-related services, knowing what’s allowed. We might thus see more European companies accepting crypto or issuing tokens (perhaps a luxury brand in Paris or a carmaker in Germany launching a pilot) once MiCA is in effect.

是什麼令部分企業仍然觀望?主要原因在於監管不明朗和聲譽風險。以美國為例,監管環境一直模糊不清,SEC 陸續打擊部分加密貨幣產品,而國會尚未通過完整的加密相關法規(儘管已經在推動中)。調查中有 90% 財富 500 強企業高管表示,必須有明確的加密貨幣監管法規才能支持創新,許多公司現階段只能「觀望等待」規則落地。歐洲則於 2023 年通過了最新的 MiCA(加密資產市場規範),並將於 2024–25 年開始生效,確立了全歐盟通行的一套規則。這樣的明確規定有望讓歐洲品牌更安心推動加密相關服務,知道哪些行為是被允許的。當 MiCA 正式生效後,預期會有更多歐洲企業接納加密貨幣或發行代幣(比如巴黎的奢侈品牌或德國車廠率先試點)。

Another consideration is the environmental and social governance (ESG) aspect, which is significant for publicly listed brands. Bitcoin’s energy usage has often been criticized, and companies with ESG mandates have steered clear of associating with it. However, improvements are happening: Bitcoin mining is gradually shifting to renewable sources in some regions, and initiatives exist to certify “green” mined coins. Ethereum’s switch to proof-of-stake in 2022 eliminated the bulk of NFT energy complaints, meaning brands using Ethereum or Polygon can honestly say their blockchain transactions are now very low-carbon. Ferrari’s comments about crypto reducing its footprint and not derailing Ferrari’s carbon-neutral goals highlight how brands are reconciling crypto with sustainability messaging. Expect more of this narrative as companies align their crypto usage with ESG commitments, e.g. only accepting coins mined with clean energy, or buying carbon offsets for blockchain activity.

另一個重要考量是環境、社會及治理(ESG)議題,這對上市品牌而言尤其重要。比特幣耗能一直飽受批評,因此具備 ESG 政策的公司往往避而遠之。不過,情況正在改善:部分地區的比特幣挖礦逐漸採用可再生能源,亦已開始有「綠色認證」的加密貨幣。以太坊於 2022 年改用權益證明(proof-of-stake)機制,從而解決了多數 NFT 能源消耗的爭議,意味著採用 Ethereum 或 Polygon 的品牌可以坦言現在鏈上交易碳排極低。Ferrari 關於加密貨幣減少碳足跡、無損其碳中和目標的評論,正體現品牌如何將永續訊息與加密貨幣對齊。預期未來會有更多此類溝通,例如只接受綠電挖礦所得的幣種,或替區塊鏈活動購買碳權抵銷,藉此踐行 ESG 承諾。

Challenges and Conclusion: The Road Ahead for Brands and Crypto

挑戰與結論:品牌與加密貨幣的未來之路

As we’ve seen, by 2025 a broad array of major brands have ventured into the crypto universe in one form or another – from Starbucks trying NFT rewards, to Tesla dabbling in token payments, to Nike and Gucci selling digital collectibles, to PayPal minting its own stablecoin. This mainstreaming of crypto in corporate strategy would have been hard to imagine just five years ago. Yet it’s not been a uniformly smooth ride, and many experiments are exactly that: experiments. Brands are still feeling out how best to leverage blockchain tech to meet their business goals without falling into the traps of hype or backlash.

如上所述,截至 2025 年,各大品牌皆已以不同方式進軍加密貨幣領域——從星巴克導入 NFT 獎勵機制、特斯拉試行加密支付、Nike 和 Gucci 銷售數位收藏品,到 PayPal 自行發行穩定幣。五年前,很難想像加密貨幣會成為企業策略的主流一環。儘管如此,發展過程並非一路順遂,許多品牌目前的作法仍屬「試水溫」階段。各大品牌持續摸索如何善用區塊鏈科技以實現商業目標,同時避免流於炒作或引發反彈。

One challenge is consumer education and reception. While crypto awareness is high in 2025, understanding remains shallow for many. A loyalty program like Starbucks Odyssey might have been too far ahead of its average customer’s comfort level. For crypto initiatives to succeed, brands often have to “abstract away” the crypto part – making the user experience so simple that a user might not even realize blockchain is under the hood. Reddit did this effectively with its Collectible Avatars; Starbucks may have learned it needs to do the same if it revisits blockchain rewards (for example, calling them digital stamps and handling all the wallet stuff behind scenes). In contrast, some brands explicitly targeted the crypto-savvy niche – luxury car makers or high-fashion NFT drops aimed at the overlap of their clientele and crypto holders. Those efforts can thrive on a small scale (e.g., a few hundred NFTs to loyal collectors) but won’t move the revenue needle for a global corporation.

其中一項挑戰是消費者教育與接受度。2025 年雖然加密貨幣知名度已高,但對多數人來說理解仍然很淺,像 Starbucks Odyssey 這類忠誠計畫,或許超出平均消費者的舒適範圍。若要讓加密項目成功,品牌往往需「隱藏」加密成分——讓用戶體驗簡易到甚至沒有意識到底層是區塊鏈。Reddit 用其數位分身(Collectible Avatars)做到了這一點;星巴克若再次重啟區塊鏈獎勵方案,可能也得如此(例如稱之為數位印章,把錢包管理等複雜操作全都在後台解決)。相較之下,一些品牌則鎖定加密族群的利基市場——例如高級汽車製造商或時尚品牌發行 NFT,專攻其顧客與加密持有者的交集。這種作法在小規模上表現不俗(例如僅發行數百枚 NFT 給忠實收藏家),但對全球企業來說,難以撼動營收大盤。

Another challenge is regulatory compliance and legal risk. Brands have to ensure any token or crypto product doesn’t inadvertently become an unregistered security or violate money transmission laws. The regulatory landscape is moving, but unevenly. Companies have to engage lawyers and sometimes even lobby for clearer rules. When El Salvador mandated Bitcoin acceptance, corporations had to quickly figure out how to handle the accounting and tax treatment. In the US, stablecoin legislation and potential new SEC rules could impact how brands use crypto. This is a big reason many companies partner with established crypto firms (e.g., Starbucks partnered with Polygon and a startup called Forum3 for Odyssey, rather than build in-house) – to rely on their expertise.

另一個挑戰是監管合規與法律風險。品牌必須確保任何代幣或加密產品不會無意間構成未註冊證券,或觸犯資金傳輸法規。監管局面持續變動但步調不一,企業需要顧問律師,甚至主動遊說以爭取更明確的規範。例如薩爾瓦多強制接受比特幣時,各公司必須迅速釐清會計與稅務處理方式;美國的穩定幣立法和 SEC 可能推出的新規則,也都會影響品牌使用加密貨幣的方式。這也是許多企業選擇與既有的加密專業公司合作(如星巴克與 Polygon 及初創公司 Forum3 合作打造 Odyssey,而非自行開發)的主要原因——可仰賴對方的專業經驗。

Then there’s volatility and financial risk. Accepting crypto or holding it means dealing with price swings. Techniques like instant conversion to fiat (used by Ferrari and others) mitigate that, as does focusing on stablecoins. But holding Bitcoin in treasury is essentially a speculative position – which can pay off spectacularly or cause write-downs. We saw Tesla’s Bitcoin bet yield paper profits during the 2021 bull, then Tesla sold most of it during the 2022 downturn to limit downside. Corporate boards will differ in risk appetite, and some may view crypto as too risky unless it’s a minuscule allocation or hedged.

此外,還有波動性與財務風險的問題。接受或持有加密貨幣,等於要面對價格波動。像 Ferrari 等品牌用即時兌換法幣就能降低風險,也可以專注於穩定幣。但若公司資產部位大舉持有比特幣,性質就是投機,可能帶來驚人收益也可能因帳面損失而減值。我們見過特斯拉在 2021 牛市時持有比特幣賬面獲利,2022 年下行時再拋售大部份以止損。企業董事會的風險偏好各異,有些甚至認為除非極小比重投資且有避險,否則加密風險過高。

Security is another concern: handling crypto brings new cybersecurity challenges (protecting private keys, avoiding scams). A hack of customer crypto wallets or a breach in a brand’s NFT platform could be a PR nightmare. As such, brands often leave custody and security to specialists (for instance, many NFT marketplaces custody the NFTs for users, and merchants rely on payment processors to handle crypto transactions). Still, the onus is on the brand to ensure their partners are reputable (one recalls how the collapse of FTX in late 2022 shook confidence; any brand tied to such an exchange would have suffered reputational damage).

安全性也是不可忽視的議題:經營加密貨幣帶來新的資訊安全挑戰(例如要保護私鑰、防範詐騙)。客戶錢包被駭或品牌 NFT 平台遭入侵,都可能引發公關災難。因此品牌多將資產託管、資安交由專家處理(舉例來說,許多 NFT 市場代為託管;商戶則仰賴支付處理商代辦加密交易)。儘管如此,品牌還是必須確保合作夥伴具備良好信譽(2022 年底 FTX 崩盤動搖市場信心,任何合作品牌都會波及聲譽)。

Despite these challenges, the overall trajectory is continued integration of crypto into consumer and enterprise activities, albeit at a measured pace. The burst of initial enthusiasm might have waned – no more “we’re launching an NFT because everyone is” announcements – but what remains are use cases with real merit and commitment. In 2025 we see crypto being used in ways that align with core business objectives: reducing costs (stablecoins for cheaper payments), increasing engagement (loyalty tokens, fan tokens), driving new revenue streams (NFT sales of digital goods), reaching new markets (accepting crypto from customers in countries with weak banking), and positioning as innovative (brand image benefits, attracting younger demographics). Each company must weigh these benefits against the risks and invest accordingly.

儘管挑戰重重,整體趨勢仍是加密貨幣逐步整合於消費者與企業日常中,只是步調較過去更謹慎。早期那種「大家都來發 NFT」的熱潮已退,但留下的是真正具價值、有決心投入的應用。2025 年我們看到加密貨幣用於以下核心目標:降低成本(用穩定幣節省支付手續費)、提升顧客參與度(發行忠誠度或粉絲代幣)、開創新營收來源(NFT 數位商品)、拓展新市場(如接收銀行服務不便地區的顧客加密付款)、塑造創新形象(強化品牌新潮度,吸引年輕族群)。每家公司都需根據自身風險、收益評估投入資本與資源。

Looking ahead, a few trends seem likely. If crypto markets continue to mature and possibly enter another bull phase, more brands may re-engage with dormant projects – for example, we might see Starbucks Odyssey 2.0 if consumer interest in NFTs resurges under better market conditions. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) might come into play: countries like China already have a digital yuan in circulation, and others are exploring CBDCs. Brands operating in those jurisdictions may have to adapt their payment systems to accept CBDCs (which function like government-backed stablecoins). If, say, the EU issues a digital euro, retailers across Europe will incorporate that – further normalizing digital currency use for average folks, which by extension normalizes other digital currencies.

展望未來,有幾個趨勢相當明顯。如果加密市場繼續成熟,甚至進入新一輪牛市,更多品牌可能重啟先前暫停的項目——例如市場情緒回暖時,Starbucks Odyssey 2.0 有望現身。央行數位貨幣(CBDC)亦將逐步登場——中國等國家已發行數位人民幣,其他國家也積極研議。品牌若在這類市場營運,則必須調整系統以支援 CBDC(實質等同國家背書的穩定幣)。假設歐盟未來發行數位歐元,歐洲零售業便會接軌採納——從而讓大眾習以為常數位貨幣運用,也連帶推動其他加密貨幣普及。

Interoperability and partnerships will likely increase. We could envision loyalty tokens from different brands being tradable on some platforms (imagine swapping airline miles for hotel points via a decentralized exchange, if regulatory approved). Payment apps might auto-convert various cryptos to local currency in the background, so a customer could pay a merchant in Bitcoin and the merchant receives euros seamlessly. Those technical pieces are being built now.

互通性與跨界合作也將日益普及。我們可以想像,不同品牌發的忠誠度代幣能在部分平台上流通兌換(如經監管批准,旅遊點數能與飯店點數在去中心化交易所自由兌換)。付款程式將逐步支援自動後台轉換各種加密貨幣與本地貨幣,用戶以比特幣付款,商戶即無縫收取歐元——相關技術基礎目前正在發展中。

Perhaps the greatest endorsement of crypto’s place in corporate America came indirectly: in mid-2025, the U.S. Vice President spoke at a Bitcoin conference, calling the U.S. a “firm ally” of the crypto industry and saying Bitcoin has become a mainstream part of the economy. Such political support, along with improved accounting rules and success stories, has made executives far more comfortable exploring crypto than they were years ago.

也許美國企業界對加密貨幣最強而有力的背書來自間接場合:2025 年年中,美國副總統在比特幣大會公開致詞,稱美國是加密業的「堅定盟友」,並認可比特幣已然成為經濟體系主流。這種政治力挺,加上會計規則趨於明確及產業成功案例,令高階經理人如今遠較數年前積極探索加密機會。

In conclusion, the relationship between big brands and crypto in 2025 is one of cautious embrace. We see unquestionable momentum – a majority of top companies have some blockchain project underway, and iconic names from Starbucks to Tesla have paved the way. Each use case comes with lessons learned. Some, like Starbucks, learned that not every customer base is ready for Web3 (at least not explicitly). Others, like Tesla and Ferrari, discovered pockets of real demand for crypto payments but must manage practical concerns. The experiments of the early 2020s have yielded valuable know-how, separating fads from functional innovations. As the crypto industry itself evolves (with more regulation, more stability, and more user-friendly tech), big brands will be able to integrate crypto in more seamless

總結來說,2025 年大型品牌與加密貨幣的關係是「審慎擁抱」。市場動力不容否認——多數巨頭企業正積極推行區塊鏈項目,從星巴克到特斯拉這類指標性名字都已帶頭嘗試。每個應用都帶來寶貴經驗,像星巴克明白了不是所有顧客都已準備好進入 Web3(至少表面看起來如此);而特斯拉、法拉利則發現加密支付有特定利基需求,但仍得面對實際運作上的種種挑戰。2020 年代初的各式實驗,已讓企業分辨出哪些是短暫熱潮、哪些是功能創新。隨著加密產業本身愈趨規範、穩健及用戶友善,大型品牌必能將加密貨幣更無縫整合……and invisible ways. In time, using crypto within your favorite brands’ ecosystem might feel as normal as using reward points or gift cards – the complexity hidden beneath a familiar surface.

目前,加密貨幣仍然是精明品牌謹慎運用的工具:在這裡增強顧客忠誠度,在那裡新增付款選項,利用數位收藏品與粉絲互動,或是運用區塊鏈提升供應鏈效率。關鍵在於依據事實訂定策略,而非盲目追逐炒作——這正是我們在本解說中所力求呈現的。只要持續聚焦於真實用例和實際成果,品牌就能在探索加密貨幣新境界的同時,仍能把握顧客的需求。而身為消費者的我們,也可期待未來有更多機會,透過所喜愛的品牌來接觸加密貨幣,不論是因為買了一杯拿鐵而獲得數位收藏品,還是選擇用比特幣付款買下一台新車。大型品牌與加密貨幣的交會早已不再是理論——它正在發生,隨著這個數位時代推進,只會更加壯大。
