BitPay officially began supporting Shiba Inu coin in December 2021
Shiba Inu payments may now be available to more users in 179 countries as Edge now supports the BitPay protocol. Edge is a non-custodial wallet where customers can buy, sell, trade and spend over 130 digital assets. It supports more than 1.7 million accounts in ten languages in 179 countries.
“With Edge’s support, together we are able to promote payment quality online and in-store for both customers and merchants wanting to leverage the benefits of crypto payments,” Stephen Pair, CEO of BitPay, said.
Merchants and businesses can accept crypto from wallets that have enabled the BitPay protocol to successfully receive payments from over 200 million crypto users.
BitPay officially began supporting the Shiba Inu coin in December 2021, which allowed SHIB to be spent at hundreds of BitPay merchants where Shiba Inu is accepted.
