Pay Onchain at Regal Movie Theatres for the Holidays

From December 23 - January 6, movie goers across the United States can enjoy a new way to pay and save at Regal movie theatres. In collaboration with Coinbase Wallet and Flexa, Regal will accept USDC payments on Base, the low-cost Ethereum L2, with a 10% discount. This promotion showcases that onchain payments are increasingly available for every day use.

Watch More. Spend Less.

USDC is a digital equivalent of the U.S. dollar; it combines the stability of the U.S. Dollar with the speed of the internet and costs less than 1 cent per transaction. Stablecoins, like USDC, are growing exponentially; USDC market cap growth in 2024 was 73.47%. Whether you’re catching a holiday blockbuster or grabbing snacks at the concession stand, customers can now use USDC to pay onchain at the big screen.

“We’re thrilled to bring onchain payments to a classic American pastime,” said Ashlyn Turner, Marketing & Sales Manager at Regal. “For those already familiar with crypto, this is a chance to use digital dollars for a discounted night out. And for newcomers, the discount at Regal offers a glimpse into the benefits of onchain payments.”

This onchain payment experience was built by Flexa. Flexa builds commerce tools to make it easy for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to mainstream retailers, to accept crypto. 

“We’re excited to work with Regal and Coinbase Wallet to deliver an elevated, user-first onchain payment experience for the holidays,” said Daniel McCabe, cofounder and CEO at Flexa. “Together, we’re creating a seamless way for moviegoers to save money while enjoying the benefits of digital currency in a secure and efficient manner.”
