Blink Charging says it has launched the first phase of cryptocurrency payments at select EV DC fast charging sites in the US. Drivers can pay for charging sessions using USD Coin (USDC).
Blink says the crypto payment option supports USDC transactions on four blockchain networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Base. Crypto payments are now live at select DC fast charging locations, with plans to expand the feature to additional Blink-owned sites throughout 2026.
The initial rollout locations listed in the release are 1680 Main Street, Chipley, Florida 32428, and 145 SE Bandit Street, Madison, Florida 32340.
“Blink’s goal is to make EV charging seamless and convenient for all EV drivers,” said Harmeet Singh, CTO. “By introducing cryptocurrency payments, we’re embracing innovation that aligns with Blink and the evolving digital economy, aiming to give EV drivers more options for an easier charging session. Customers are increasingly seeking the option to use digital assets where they pay for products and services. At Blink, we always endeavor to listen, learn and lead – this launch is a perfect example of this.”
A Motley Fool survey it says found half of adults surveyed would consider using stablecoins for everyday purchases, rising to 71% among Gen Z and 60% among millennials.
