The crypto-focused booking platform Travala has teamed up with the prospering Polygon (MATIC) to bring USD Coin (USDC) as a payment method for over 2.2 million hotels worldwide.

Paying in Crypto for Trips is Easier Than Ever

Moreover, the crypto booking platform offers over half a million outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, boat trips, museums, and so on. To illustrate, any Harry Potter fans can now join the fun in London, United Kingdom. The “Original Harry Potter Locations” Tour is just around $20 each and can be paid for with Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogecoin (DOGE), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH), among others. Starting today, holders of the USDC stablecoin can freely book their favorite activities too.

What’s more, crypto explorers can go on a historical bike ride in Amsterdam, Netherlands, or the Wonders of Architecture in Barcelona, Catalonia. The crypto wanderers can use Travala’s NFTs for an access pass, as the company has minted the Travel Tigers NFTs – a collection of 1,000 unique, stylish big cats that reside on Ethereum’s (ETH) blockchain. Besides, Travala has the widest crypto payment option availability in the travel industry.

Polygon’s (MATIC) Competition With Memecoins

Recently, Polygon (MATIC) overtook Dogecoin (DOGE) for the #10th position by total market capitalization. However, the top dog memecoin managed to get it back after a couple of days. The spike a month ago has put Polygon (MATIC) back on top, as it went all the way to $1.05 on August 14th.

At press time, the 17th top cryptocurrency trades at $0.803493, which is exactly where it was 24 hours ago, according to CoinGecko. However, Polygon (MATIC) is still licking its wounds from the crypto winter with a 7.9% weekly decrease and a 14.9% in the red for the last fortnight.

The conference is set to take place in the City Of Love from September 14th to September 16th. To make use of this promotion, one must enter the code BTake5Off at checkout. Crypto enthusiasts will need to hurry up, as there’s only 4000 seats available.
