American video game merchandise retailer, GameStop (NYSE:GME), became popular for uniting retail traders in January 2021 against the Wall Street professionals, and winning has added several cryptocurrencies on its list of supported payment options.
Shoppers can now pay for merchandise at GameStop using Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Axie Infinity Shard (AXS), Smooth Love Potion (SLP), and Decentraland (MANA).
Flexa Network Behind the New Additions The new feature of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu on Gamestop, thanks to integration by Gemini-backed digital payment platform, Flexa.
Flexa, which partnered with Gemini – one of the leading US-based cryptocurrency exchanges back in 2019, recently announced the addition of Shiba Inu amongst others to its list of accepted cryptos.
In addition, Flexa recently confirmed that GameStop has been renewed as a supported merchant. This means that Flexa’s SPEDN application users can now pay with SHIB, and DOGE across all its merchants, including GameStop.
On Thursday, December 16, Flexa announced that it has added support for popular metaverse tokens, including Axie Infinity Shard (AXS), The Sandbox (SAND), Smooth Love Potion (SLP), and Decentraland (MANA). This means they can also be used to purchase things on GameStop.
