This means that the red-hot cryptocurrency can now be used for booking over 2.2 million hotels and accommodations around the globe.
Dogecoin, the original joke cryptocurrency, was added to the list of available payment options in early May.
The service made its debut in 2017 and quickly became popular with crypto-friendly travelers.
Last year, Travala merged with Binance-invested competitor TravelbyBit.
