Customers at 514 cinemas can buy tickets, popcorn and snacks using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, USDC, GUSD, DAI, Cosmos, Basic Attention Token and other cryptocurrencies.

Regal’s Chief Marketing Officer Ken Teves said the network aims to be ‘the best place to watch a movie’. He noted that moviegoers had asked for digital asset support.
