The partnership between Shift4 Payments and Blue Origin opens new horizons for cryptocurrency applications in space travel.
Payments for Space Travel Using Cryptocurrency

This includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC). This initiative marks a significant step towards acceptance of cryptocurrencies for high-value purchases.
