Blue Origin has launched cryptocurrency payment options for its space travel services through a new partnership with Shift4 Payments. The collaboration enables customers to book space flights using Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and USD Coin (USDC).
Payments can be executed directly through widely used cryptocurrency wallets such as MetaMask and Coinbase, streamlining transaction processes for aspiring space travelers.
Shift4 CEO Taylor Lauber voiced strong enthusiasm for the initiative, emphasizing its role in pioneering commercial transactions beyond Earth. The move specifically aims to broaden accessibility to space tourism for cryptocurrency enthusiasts worldwide.
