Honda Crypto Payment Option Only Available Through Third-Party Platform
Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
Honda Motor Co Ltd (NYSE:HMC) has expanded its payment options to include 46 cryptocurrencies, but only through the third-party platform, FCF Pay. Honda itself does not accept cryptocurrency payments directly. FCF Pay, which made the system live in September 2023, is currently available in the U.S. and is seeking additional partners for crypto-to-fiat bill settlement in Mexico, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Other car manufacturers, including Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Nissan, and Mitsubishi, also use crypto to buy cars.
