Newegg currently accepts a number of cryptocurrencies via Bitpay. According to the AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron, the crypto payment service provider decided to add SHIB to its list of supported cryptocurrencies at his request.
Aron said that he expects AMC to be the first company to accept meme token SHIB via Bitpay in early November. However, the company is currently not using Bitpay and Aron said the shiba inu will be accepted in 60 to 120 days from the date of his announcement. This plan would put AMC behind Newegg in accepting SHIB.
