It’s good news that cryptocurrency does not cease to gain the much-needed traction in the industries that matter. This is expected to continue as the nascent means of payment or transferring wealth strives to gain global adoption.
Such a needed adoption is coming from the largest movie theater chain in the world. In a tweet on 16th September 2021, Adam Aron, the CEO of AMC Theatres, confirmed that the firm will start accepting Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
