Jeff Bezos Ventures into Space Travel with Cryptocurrency Payments

Shift4 Payments, the integrated payments company listed on the NYSE, has partnered with Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ space travel firm, to enable space flight bookings using cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. This partnership allows customers to purchase space trips aboard Blue Origin’s reusable New Shepard rocket through popular wallets like Coinbase and MetaMask, facilitated by Shift4’s payment infrastructure. This innovative move marks a significant step towards integrating cryptocurrency payments in the high-cost space travel market. Over 75 individuals have already crossed the Kármán Line aboard commercial flights with Blue Origin.
