Going by the foregoing, it means that holders of the asset can now use the token as a payment method at Regal, one of the leading theater operators in the United States.
Regal and Flexa, earlier this year announced a collaboration which would see the movie house accept cryptocurrencies as a payment method for their services.
At the time, Regal wrote that it would be supporting crypto payments “Via the Flexa network” continuing that “Regal is accepting these new currencies in a safe, reliable, and trusted way. Flexa’s guaranteed settlement, flexible integration options, fraud-proof architecture, and breadth of currency and payment options solve enduring challenges and points of friction that are currently hindering the widespread adoption of digital assets.”
