“Newegg will begin accepting SHIB in early December, further cementing Newegg.com as a preferred destination for online shoppers who want to pay with cryptocurrency.”
Andrew Choi, Director of Brand Marketing at Newegg said:
“We are always looking for ways to innovate the shopping experience on Newegg.com, and something our customers want is greater flexibility and options, including the ability to pay with a wide range of cryptocurrencies,”
Bitpay will support Newegg with the meme coin’s integration. Choi added:
