🟣 Ferraris: the luxury car marker now accepts crypto payments (BTC, ETH, USDC) for its sports cars in the U.S.
🟣 Taylor Swift 🎟️ – people can now use crypto to buy tickets to the new movie, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”
Basically, crypto app MoonPay has been making news in recent days. And indeed, just this week, it seems that the AMC cinema chain has agreed to accept crypto payments for the purchase of tickets to the highly anticipated film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”.
To take advantage of this payment option, fans can visit the AMC website or mobile app and select BitPay at checkout.
This has been made possible through a collaboration between AMC and BitPay, which will allow users to purchase movie tickets in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and XRP.
There is also the announcement of cryptocurrency payment service provider Bitpay:

News of Ferrari accepting crypto payments boosts Bitcoin price
In today’s tweet from MoonPay, there is also a reference to the weekend’s news of another BitPay partnership, but this time with Italian luxury sports car brand Ferrari.
Basically, Enrico Gallera, Ferrari’s Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer, said that they have activated cryptocurrency payments for the purchase of luxury cars. At the moment, this new payment method is only available to US dealers, but will be extended to Europe in the future.
BitPay will therefore allow payments in BTC, ETH and USDC for the purchase of a Ferrari, converting the crypto into fiat currency at the time of payment, allowing Ferrari dealers to accept dollars or euros.
This news may have contributed to Bitcoin’s $28,000 price spike over the weekend, with yesterday’s spike taking BTC to $29,260. At the time of writing, BTC is worth $28450.
