  • DeLorean Motors hints at accepting Shiba Inu tokens for electric vehicle payments, generating excitement in the crypto and auto industries.
  • The potential use of SHIB as a payment method could position DeLorean ahead of its competitors in the crypto space.
  • SHIB’s integration into DeLorean’s payment system might increase its adoption and bridge the gap between crypto and the automotive world.

The DeLorean Motor Company, the company that became famous for producing the DMC-12 car from the movie “Back to the Future”, is planning a big return. The company has given a new hint lately that can mean big changes for both the auto and crypto industries.

The hype began when a marketer for Shiba Inu, Lucie posted on X (Twitter) asking if Shiba could outpace Tesla and Dogecoin. The post received much attention when DeLorean Motors in a tweet replied to the post saying that they might support platfrom hence putting itself in competition with Tesla for supporting of Dogecoin. This lighthearted comment has led to much speculation that the company may soon begin accepting SHIB for its electric vehicles, interesting both the crypto and car communities.

Shiba Inu Payment Buzz Grows

While there is no official statement, the possibility of DeLorean enabling SHIB payments has already generated a lot of buzz across the crypto community, particularly among members of the Shib Army – the community of believers in Shiba Inu. If DeLorean goes through with this, it may well increase the standing of SHIB in the market and make it more likely that more people will accept it as payment. Such a partnership could give SHIB a much-needed usage case and help facilitate the transition between the world of crypto and the automotive industry.

This is not just DeLorean trying to ride the waves of nostalgia to make money off of electric vehicles. The company is already committed to join the fiercely competitive EV market and wants to combine the classic looks of its previous models with new technology. If DeLorean decides to accept SHIB as a payment method, it will be one step ahead of the competitors and attract both the crypto community and eco-minded buyers. 

Growing Hype Around SHIB Partnership

The Shiba Inu developers have not yet provided any official partnership with DeLorean but Lucie’s post has created much hype within the community. Both of these coins could benefit from a partnership and this may very well be a sign of the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a form of payment.

With the ev market growing and cryptocurrencies becoming more popular, people are getting excited about the possibility of DeLorean accepting SHIB. Regardless of the integration outcome the world of technology, finance, and transportation is slowly merging and the pace is only increasing. Cryptocurrency payments may soon become the standard in sectors that were not expected to engage in collaboration in the past.
