Pacsun said it made the decision to accept payments in cryptocurrencies in response to an increasing desire towards cryptocurrency from the Gen Z audience, the company’s primary consumer.

Why It Matters: BitPay’s deal with Pacsun comes just a week after the company announced a partnership with point-of-sale provider Verifone to make cryptocurrency payments a reality at major U.S. retailers.
Verifone’s list of clients includes Taco Bell owner Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:YUM) and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) owned Whole Foods.
Dogecoin’s acceptance as a payment option by companies has gained momentum this year. It was reported last month, citing CryptWerk data, that the meme cryptocurrency can now be spent at 1,704 merchants.
Price Action: Dogecoin is up almost 9.5% during the past 24 hours, trading at $0.2604 at press time.
