The largest virtual reality club in North and South America, VR World, has announced that the company is accepting cryptocurrency for payment for goods and services from BitPay. VR World remains an active player in the NFT space, even hosting the official afterparty for the NFT NYC conference in November.

"After VR World hosted the official afterparty for NFT NYC conference last month, it became clear to us - cryptocurrency has entered everyday life," according to Leo Tsimmer, CEO of VR World.

On Dec. 9, cryptocurrency payment service platform BitPay announced that merchants on its network can now accept Shiba Inu for payments and that consumers can buy, store and swap the dog-themed coin in the BitPay Wallet app.

Aside from Shiba Inu, the list of other supported coins on BitPay include Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Wrapped Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin and five USD-pegged stablecoins.
