BitPay, one of the largest blockchain payment providers announced that its customers will soon be able to accept Ethereum payments. Currently BitPay accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Gemini Dollars (GUSD), Paxos (PAX), and Circle USD Coin (USDC) cryptocurrencies.
BitPay is consistently at the forefront of using cryptocurrency to solve real-world problems and offer our global customers the best options to accept and pay with multiple blockchain assets. As one of the largest crypto currencies by market cap and one used by thousands of companies, Ethereum is the next logical choice
said Stephen Pair, CEO of BitPay
Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. ETH is more than money. It’s the fuel that runs the digital economy, the substrate to the future of capital markets, and the settlement layer of Earth.
