Blue Origin accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDT, and USDC for space trips on New Shepard.
Blue Origin has expanded its payment options, now accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDT, and USDC for commercial spaceflights aboard its New Shepard vehicle. This move is a result of a partnership with Shift4 Payments, Inc. [2], enabling customers to connect wallets such as Coinbase and MetaMask for secure and direct transactions [3].The integration of cryptocurrency and stablecoin payments allows Blue Origin to process international transactions with faster settlement in U.S. dollars, enhancing the user experience. This innovation is particularly significant as it taps into the growing user base of crypto holders, making space travel more accessible and convenient [3].
New Shepard, the suborbital vehicle, has transported over 75 passengers beyond the Kármán Line, offering unparalleled views of Earth. The partnership with Shift4 Payments, Inc. aims to simplify the transaction process, making space travel more inclusive and accessible to a broader range of customers [2].
