Blue Origin, the private spaceflight company founded by Jeff Bezos, has made a major move by introducing cryptocurrency payment options for its space trips. This groundbreaking step in crypto adoption allows customers to pay for their tickets aboard New Shepard spacecraft using popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDT, and USDC.
The integration of Shift4 Payments will facilitate these cryptocurrency transactions, making it easier for the company’s clients to secure a spot on board Blue Origin’s reusable suborbital launch system. The company believes that this innovative move aligns with its mission to provide greater convenience and security for customers booking spaceflights.
