Shiba Inu (SHIB) can now be used to buy Wendy's meals and also be spent at more than 600 other vendors, including major hotels, restaurants and supermarkets in the state of Georgia, via a new Binance Pay partnership.
Binance has announced a new partnership between Binance Pay and CityPay.io, a crypto payment gateway based in Georgia.
The exchange announced the development in this way: "Georgia Crypto Payments Binance Pay partners with CityPay.io, allowing users in the region to not only secure Wendy's with crypto but also spend at more than 600 other vendors, including major hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets."
Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao excitedly tweeted about the development, "Buy fries with crypto."
Binance Pay is a cryptocurrency payment system created by Binance that enables shopping with crypto and can also be sent to family and friends globally.
In November 2022, SHIB was added to the list of cryptocurrencies supported by Binance Pay, joining cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Last month, Binance Pay announced its partnership with payment acceptance solutions provider Ingenico, pushing crypto adoption in France. SHIB and other cryptocurrencies can now be accepted in retail stores thanks to the partnership's in-store crypto payment acceptance solution.
