Founder and chairman Kenny Dichter said the Crypto.com Pay rollout gives charter customers one-day settlement from digital wallets and could turn crypto into a meaningful payment channel for the company.
REAL Jet's Crypto.com Pay rollout gives eligible U.S. residents a way to book private charter flights from their digital wallets, with bookings still priced and settled in U.S. dollars under the existing launch terms. Founder and chairman Kenny Dichter said on Fox Business that REAL Jet is the first private aviation company to integrate the service and argued the move reflects crypto's shift from a speculative asset toward everyday commerce. He said demand from dozens of high-net-worth crypto holders helped drive the decision, and predicted crypto payments could eventually contribute $200 million to $300 million of a potential $1 billion business. Dichter also said uncertainty around the CLARITY Act is unlikely to alter the industry's long-term trajectory, pointing to more than 700 million digital-asset holders globally and about $3 trillion still sitting largely as investable assets rather than being used in transactions.
