Shiba Inu has come a long way since its inception. From the mere view of being just another meme token, to a team with many projects under its roof, the meme coin has had remarkable growth over the years.

The team has also been constantly collaborating with numerous global companies. From travel companies, to food chain restaurants and automotive companies, the list goes on. Meme coins and cryptocurrencies in general have always been criticized for a lack of utility. However, Shiba Inu holders can now pay for an Aston Martin car with their SHIB. This has been made possible with their recent collaboration with BitPay.

Shiba Inu can get you an Aston Martin

Aston Martin is one of the oldest luxury sports car and grand tourer manufacturers, having been established in 1913 in London. In one of their recent tweets, BitPay announced that they are collaborating with Exclusive Automatic Group.

However, this collaboration doesn’t apply to all the Aston Martin showrooms. Payments with cryptocurrencies are quicker and more seamless. Cryptocurrency payments eliminate the user’s need to rely on banks, especially in cases where the funds are large in value.
