【Crypto World】High-end private aviation service providers are beginning to embrace crypto payments. Recently, they partnered with a well-known payment service provider to officially open multi-currency payment channels for cardholders—Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, and PYUSD stablecoins are all accepted. Interestingly, the final settlement still occurs in USD, which retains the convenience of on-chain payments while avoiding price volatility risks.
This case quite effectively illustrates the point. Cryptocurrency used to be the domain of hackers and gamblers, but now even top-tier private services are starting to accept it. The diversification of payment methods essentially sends a signal—that from a technical perspective, it’s already secure and mature enough, and from a compliance standpoint, a balance has been found. But what’s truly interesting is the underlying logic: why did stablecoins break the barrier first? Because geeks and institutions both want that steady, non-fluctuating asset they can hold with confidence. The traditional industry’s acceptance speed is accelerating, and the scope of Web3 applications is gradually expanding.

The recent moves in stablecoins are basically saying, "I want coins but I'm afraid of losing," and the big sponsors like private aviation know this best... Settlements are still in USD, so what's the essential difference from transferring via Alipay? It's just an added blockchain.

Stablecoins are truly the most practical choice; volatile currencies are simply not used for large payments, and this is the market reality.

Stablecoins are the right path. Who dares to use volatile coins for payments?
Private jets are now on the blockchain, now even the wealthy have to learn how to check wallet addresses haha.
Basically, stablecoins solve the trust issue, which is the real breakthrough.
Compliance + convenience, indeed a good balance.
People used to say crypto was just gambling, but now the rich are using it... it's a bit ironic.
USDC ultimately settles in USD, feels a bit disconnected? Might as well pay directly in USD.
This move has indeed caught the attention of traditional finance; on-chain payments aren't that scary after all.
Stablecoins are hot, but are Bitcoin and Ethereum being somewhat neglected?
Payment scenarios are the true necessity for Web3, not hype.
Private aviation integrates on-chain payments, further advancing cryptocurrency applications in traditional industries
