BitPay, a leading cryptocurrency payment, and exchange service announced retail support for Shiba Inu (SHIB) payments. This would open the gates for SHIB holders to pay for their daily needs items at thousands of BitPay retailers. SHIB has seen a slew of adoption over the past couple of months, right from mainstream crypto exchanges to retail giants. However, the latest BitPay retail integration for SHIB has not gone down well with Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson.

Hoskinson took to Twitter to question BitPay’s latest announcement and SHIB integration, pointing towards a poll started by the crypto exchange firm in November. Hoskinson indicated that the poll didn’t have any meaning and it was just a PR gimmick.
