Shift4 helps crypto fans blast off
Space flight company Blue Origin recently started using payment processor Shift4’s technology to let customers pay with digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDT and USDC, Shift4 said in a news release Monday.
“Crypto is now a $4 trillion asset class and the sky is the limit when it comes to its potential in the current payments ecosystem,” Alex Wilson, the payment processor’s head of crypto, said in the news release.
The $4 trillion figure was reported last month by outlets such as Bloomberg and Reuters.
Blue Origin, which is owned by billionaire tech titan Jeff Bezos, accepts payments through crypto wallets such as Coinbase and MetaMask, the release said.
