Cuban Says Mavs To Accept Cryptocurrency Payments, Including Bitcoin, Next Season

Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban said that the team next season "will begin accepting cryptocurrency payments," according to Stan Higgins of COINDESK.com. Cuban was asked on Twitter yesterday about the possibility of paying for tickets with cryptocurrency, to which he replied: "Next season." Cuban later "confirmed the news and said that the team would take both bitcoin and ethers -- as well as 'possibly some other currencies.'" He suggested that the Mavericks' "crypto-payments system could, when launched, offer support for other tokens as well beyond the more well-known cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether." He said, "We will also look at accepting tokens from companies we have traditional business relationships with as a way to expand our customer base" (COINDESK.com, 1/16).
