Only time will tell how big cryptocurrency is.  

As reported by U.Today, Aron recently announced that AMC would start accepting Shiba Inu and Dogecoin, the two largest meme cryptocurrencies, later this March.

The cinema chain, which operates 1,004 movie theatres in 15 countries, started accepting Bitcoin and some major altcoins in November. 

Aron says that Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal payments already account for roughly 50% of the total online ticketing.

The AMC boss reiterated the company’s plan to issue its own cryptocurrency, but the plan is still up in the air.   

He notes that the regulatory framework around cryptocurrencies is changing at a rapid pace, stressing that the prominent chain is focused on complying with every existing regulatory guidance:

AMC, as a company, has always wanted to stay very far on the fight side of the law.

The movie theater chain is riding high on the success of “The Batman,” which has nabbed a $129 million domestic debut. AMC accounted for roughly a third of the superhero movie’s ticket sales.
