The world\u2019s leading movie theatre chain will be accepting Litecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash in addition to Bitcoin as payments for confectionaries and movie tickets at all its U.S. outlets before December 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is according to a Twitter announcement<\/a> made by the Company\u2019s C.E.O Adam Aron on Thursday morning sending out a wave of bullish sentiments on the three cryptocurrencies by crypto enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCryptocurrency enthusiasts: you likely know AMCTheatres has announced we will accept Bitcoin for online ticket and concession payments by year-end 2021. I can confirm today that when we do so, we also expect that we similarly will accept Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, the C.E.O in an early morning earnings call had disclosed that AMC was actively engaged in setting up payment systems that would allow movie enthusiasts to pay for various services and purchases using Bitcoin. He had also acknowledged receiving a lot of inquiries from users and shareholders on the possibility of the company accepting payments in crypto which could have largely informed Thursday\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Litecoin foundation did not respond to the statement in writing, Litecoin\u2019s news page and Charlie Lee, the founder of Litecoin retweeted AMCs announcement gesturing their affirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadening the crypto payments net<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Litecoin has been making inroads in institutional halls thanks to its long-term persistence and reliability. Its completed MWEB upgrade project which allows the network to become much more scalable and make transaction amounts un-viewable to the public makes Litecoin the ideal choice for payments while protecting users\u2019 data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Litecoin Foundations Q1 report, various companies have already announced that they\u2019re integrating Litecoin including Paypal, Vaultoro, Flare Network, Moon among others. Its successful payment integrations have also attracted a fair share of challenges with a recent false report that Walmart was integrating Litecoin in its payment network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin cash which fulfills the original promise of Bitcoin as \u201cPeer-to-peer electronic cash\u201d could also see mass use given its fast transactions, low fees, and reliable confirmation. It also allows use on a large list of wallets including Ledger and Trezor among others, which are synonymous with most U.S. crypto owners. Its discounts on payments due to the elimination of credit cards are likely to attract most AMC movie enthusiasts looking to pay using this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Ethereum payments to the company could be fulfilled through Ethereum-Pay,\u00a0 a decentralized ERC-1363 payable token built on the secure Ethereum network specifically tailored to be integrated with E-commerce transactions.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EthereumPay creates a universal payment platform that allows merchants & users around the world to do business with each other instantly and cheaper than ever. Ethereum payments are accepted by companies including Sotheby, Overstock,\u00a0Gipsybee, \u00a0Shopify CheapAir,\u00a0Tripio among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
