AMC Theatres, a crypto advacte movie theater brand in the United States, has modified its mobile app services to take Dogecoin (DOGE), Shibu Inu (SHIB), and other cryptocurrencies as payment.

In particular, AMC Theatres began accepting crypto payments, allowing consumers to buy movie tickets online using Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Litecoin (LTC) (LTC).

Adam Aron, the CEO of AMC Theatres, reportedly told followers in a tweet on Jan. 6, 2022 that the meme tokens DOGE and SHIB will be included by March. Aron’s team delivered, although a little late.

Aron said in the release that the AMC Theatres iOS and Android mobile apps will be able to take cryptocurrency payments thanks to a partnership with a bitcoin payment service provider named BitPay. 

The identities of the other newly supported cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are yet to be released. Users in the United States should download the most recent version of the mobile app to take use of the functionality.

Nium, a Singapore-based cross-border payments service, has partnered with BitPay to create an API-based solution that allows businesses to begin taking crypto payments, starting with BTC and ETH.

BitPay converts crypto payments and sends them to merchants’ accounts in US dollars or other fiat currencies the following working day.
