Dubai Duty Free Accepts SHIB Payments Across DXB and DWC Airports
Dubai Duty Free has become the first airport retailer in the Middle East to introduce regulated digital payment solutions, allowing customers to pay with cryptocurrencies such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and others across its facilities at DXB and DWC international airports.
The infrastructure implements the Crypto.com Pay gateway to process retail transactions, which instantly converts and settles the received balance exclusively in United Arab Emirates dirhams (AED).
Customers can select their funds in various tokens, including SHIB, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), or Dogecoin (DOGE) to settle their purchases. The transaction mechanism eliminates price fluctuation risk for the retail establishment.
The rollout covers physical stores located in Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC) terminals, as well as the merchant's official online store.
