Roblox, with 200 million monthly users, accepts XRP$XRP $BTC

Roblox, an online gaming platform, has added XRP to the cryptocurrencies it accepts as payment. The platform, where nearly half of its active users are around the age of 13, will now allow Ripple's token for purchases.

Payments will be made by Roblox payment provider Xsolla, which accepts payments from players as before. Crypto payment provider BitPay will be responsible for seamless transactions between wallets. BitPay and Xsolla have been working together since 2014. Finally, the parties also reached an agreement for PYUSD, PayPal's stablecoin, and integrated this payment.

Xsolla had been taking steps for crypto payments, especially since 2022. The company first partnered with the crypto management platform Coinchange in 2022, and in 2023 it agreed with the Web3 platform TradeZing for NFT payments. The company also reached an agreement with the Cryptocom exchange for the Pay Station platform in August.

Many exchanges also started to relist XRP, which they delisted at the beginning of 2021.
