SHIB United Arab Emirates integrates Crypto.com Pay payment method in its booking channels
United Arab Emirates has officially launched Crypto.com Pay payment service on its official website and mobile applications. Eligible United Arab Emirates residents can now use supported encrypted digital assets to complete ticket purchases.
This payment function has been officially launched on July 28, 2026. Passengers can use this digital payment solution to make payments directly through the emirates.com official website and the United Arab Emirates aviation application. The move marks United Arab Emirates becoming the first major airline in the Gulf to accept cryptocurrency payment for ticket reservations.
The implementation of this service stems from the memorandum of cooperation signed between United Arab Emirates and Crypto.com in July 2025. The two parties agreed to jointly explore the feasibility of integrating Crypto.com Pay into the airline's digital payment system. The integration plan is provided by Crypto.com's physical institution in Dubai, which has obtained a stored value facility license issued by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, becoming the first virtual asset service provider to hold this license.
Passengers with Crypto.com accounts can select Crypto.com Pay payment method on the settlement page when booking tickets on the United Arab Emirates official website or application. The service is currently open to eligible United Arab Emirates residents, and all transactions are priced and settled in United Arab Emirates dirhams. Passengers who book through the application will be guided to the Crypto.com application to complete wallet payment. After successful payment, they will automatically return to the United Arab Emirates application to obtain reservation confirmation information and e-tickets.
Breakthroughs in real-life application value of SHIB tokens
This integration supports 30 cryptocurrencies, including SHIB, which marks another important milestone for this dog-themed token in real-life application scenarios. For the Shiba token ecosystem, being included in the payment system of the world's most renowned airlines means that it has moved beyond the speculative trading stage and taken a substantial step.
The move is in line with Dubai's "Cash Free Strategy" in Dubai's D33 Economic Agenda, which aims to achieve 90% of Dubai's government and private sector financial transactions digitally completed by the end of 2026. The launch of this payment function also reflects the increasingly improved digital asset regulatory framework in the United Arab Emirates.
