CNBC-cited Report: Walmart To Accept Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) In-Store — Trader Watchpoints and Crypto Market Impact

According to @AltcoinDaily, CNBC reports that Walmart will accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other crypto for in-store payments, shared via a video post on X on Jan 4, 2026 (source: @AltcoinDaily on X). Walmart’s scale could make the move material for on-chain and off-chain payment flows, as the company reported roughly 10,900 stores and $648 billion in FY2024 revenue (source: Walmart FY2024 Annual Report). Traders should first seek direct confirmation from CNBC’s report and Walmart Investor Relations, then monitor BTC and ETH spot volumes, spreads, and funding on major exchanges if confirmed (source: @AltcoinDaily on X citing CNBC; Walmart Investor Relations; Binance and Coinbase public market data). Historically, corporate retail adoption headlines have coincided with short-term crypto volatility and liquidity spikes, exemplified by market reactions around PayPal’s 2020 crypto rollout announcement (source: PayPal Newsroom, Oct 21, 2020).
