AMC to Begin Accepting Shiba Inu (SHIB) in the Next Quarter
America’s largest movie theater chain, AMC, popular for accepting ticket payments in Bitcoin and Dogecoin, has revealed that it will add Shiba Inu (SHIB) to its list of supported cryptocurrencies.
Adam Aron, the CEO of AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), set up a poll on October 29th, asking his followers whether the theater chain should begin accepting SHIB. Of the 153,100 respondents, 87.6% voted in favor of AMC accepting SHIB.
On November 15th, AMC’s CEO announced that American-based crypto service provider Bitpay has agreed to support Shiba Inu (SHIB) at his request. He tweeted;
Although seen as a meme coin, Shiba Inu has become one of the biggest digital assets with the most adoption. The coin has recently been listed by Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Gemini, and will soon be listed on Kraken. However, judging by the tweet, the Shiba Army will have to wait at least 60-120 days before they see their assets accepted by AMC.
