Chipotle Now Accept Crypto With The Help Of Flexa

Chipotle is the latest Flexa partner, joining others such as Regal Theaters and Bancoagrcola, El Salvador's largest financial institution, where Flexa facilitates both retail and merchant Bitcoin transactions for the bank's customers.

Chipotle has previously experimented with cryptocurrencies. To commemorate National Burrito Day in April 2021, it gave away $100,000 in Bitcoin along with free burritos, claiming to be the first U.S. restaurant brand to do so.

Chipotle collaborated with former Ripple CTO Stefan Thomas on the "chiptocurrency" giveaway.
​
​Flexa announced the partnership on June 1st, and Chipotle will accept all 98 cryptocurrencies Flexa currently supports, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and seven US dollar-pegged stablecoins such as USD Coin (USDC).
