US Patient Pays $5,000 Dental Bill with Shiba Inu

Popular crypto wallet and payments app Zypto App highlights how someone used Shiba Inu to pay a $5,000 bill at a dental clinic in the United States

Despite noting that the dental clinic is based in the United States, Zypto did not reveal the name of the clinic. Notably, the crypto payments provider teased that users can also leverage its solution to pay their AMEX (American Express) bill too for a bigger smile

For every transaction, users pay a processing fee of $5, plus an additional 3% of the payment amount With Zypto, users do not need to first convert their Shiba Inu to fiat before paying for real-world services like dental treatment. The conversion happens after the user has completed the payment from their end

Zypto App provides the infrastructure to enable merchants to accept crypto payments. Currently, the crypto payment provider supports over 21,000 merchants in the United States and several others across various parts of the world

The recent development highlights Shiba Inu’s expanding utility in real-world services. Last year, Crypto Basic reported that Amoré Orthodontic Aligners, a Michigan-based dental company, accepts Shiba Inu as a payment method for its various dental services, including teeth whitening kits and braces
