Sling TV, one of the significant competitors of American television streaming platform Hulu boasting thousands of movies and TV episodes, now accepts payments in cryptocurrency for its monthly subscription plans. It includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, DogeCoin, and others.

On Feb 18, the parent company Dish Network announced via tweet that it has partnered with Atlanta-based crypto payment firm, BitPay, and said;

5 BTC + 300 Free Spins for new players & 15 BTC + 35.000 Free Spins every month, only at mBitcasino. Play Now!

Beginning this week, Sling TV subscribers can use cryptocurrency to pay for their monthly subscription. Through the payment provider Bitpay, users can now select and pay for their favorite digital streaming service with their preferred digital currency – whether it’s bitcoin, ethereum, or dogecoin.

Sling TV, a subsidiary of Dish Network, will support a variety of digital currencies for payments, including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Wrapped Bitcoin, DogeCoin and Litecoin, and Shiba Inu (SHIB). At the same time, the stable coins supported on the Sling platform include DAI, USDC, USDP, GUSD, and BUSD.

In light of a report, Sling TV has surpassed 2.5 million subscribers in November as a television service provider.

Currently, the payment option only works for those registered at the platform already. However, new users looking to subscribe and open an account can pay in the traditional payment method.

Sling TV Follows Trend of Adopting Crypto Payments

Expressing the moto behind the partnership with BitPay, Sling TV has said that the inclusion of cryptocurrency for payments brings “choice and convenience to its check-out process.” Operating the video-on-demand model in its video streaming service, the firm competes with famous rivals like Walt Disney Company.

Adopting crypto for payments has been on the rise since the last year, and many big organizations have added cryptocurrencies to their accepted payment method. Similarly, Elon Musk, a big found of DogeCoin, announced on Saturday that tesla’s electric vehicle-making company will now accept crypto payments for its supercharging station named Santa Monica.

Furthermore, according to Visa’s report, one-fourth of the businesses plans to offer crypto payments this year. It also noted that small businesses are bullish mainly. In addition, 46% of respondents of Visa’s conducted surveys told they expect more use of cryptocurrencies in payments in 2022, while 82% said they plan to accept digital assets in payments this year.
