Solana (SOL) news: World Series of Poker adds SOL payments for tournament buy-ins
Summary
WSOP is adding cryptocurrency payments to its tournament circuit through a partnership with the Solana Foundation. Players will be able to use Solana-based payments, powered by MoonPay, to buy into WSOP events in Las Vegas with no processing fees. The rollout will expand to WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas in December, where winners can choose to receive payouts in Solana-based stablecoins. The integration is meant to modernize payments and make cross-border transactions easier for WSOP’s international player base. WSOP CEO Ty Stewart said the goal is to improve the player experience and bring an innovative payments option to the event.
