Riccardo Spagni (also known as Fluffypony), the main developer of Monero, also took on Twitter:
Too good: the Fortnite Merch store (https://t.co/KNL4IFCFHk) allows you to pay in Monero, so now you can buy that sweet Durrr Burger outfit without your friends / family / colleagues who judge you. https://t.co/XYs1NjGvGp

The invitation to make Monero the only cryptocurrency to use is interesting, since Fortnite users have been targeted by malicious hackers and by how Monero is often the choice for cryptojacking.
Despite this, the news that the retail company is opting to allow cryptocurrency payments is positive for the industry and the greater the adoption we see from companies with a follow-up like Fortnite, the more attention the cryptocurrency gains in its complex.
At present, Monero is trading at a 6.15% increase in daily trading and now has a value of $ 48.99 USD per token.
