1st Energy Will Accept Shiba Inu Payments

Australia-based giant energy company 1st Energy will accept Shiba Inu (SHIB) payments through BitPay.

Payment service provider BitPay has announced that Australian energy company 1st Energy is now accepting cryptocurrencies, including Shiba Inu, through BitPay. Besides Shiba Inu, BitPay supports leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Wrapped Bitcoin and 5 stablecoins pegged to the dollar (BUSD, DAI, GUSD, USDP and USDC). Founded in 2014 and currently serving New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, 1st Energy has become Australia's first energy retailer to accept cryptocurrencies through a partnership with BitPay. This means that the electricity company's customers can now pay their bills using any cryptocurrency offered through BitPay. SHIB had huge gains in the first quarter of last year and took the cryptocurrency market under its influence. Many investors started investing in the popular cryptocurrency due to the high rises during this period. Popular cryptocurrency Shiba Inu also started to increase again with the change of direction in the cryptocurrency market and the impact of the news. As of the time of writing, SHIB continues to trade at $0.000024, with an increase of 0.80% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data.
