For Honda, this is not the first appearance in a metaverse. In fact, already last July 2022, Honda had presented its virtual world within the famous video game Fortnite, designed for Twitch, called Hondaverse.
In practice, on Hondaverse, there are custom Fortnite maps, within which streamers and players can challenge each other with virtual parkour races and trivia questions.
The partnership with FCF Pay to accept crypto
In addition to the metaverse, the Tokyo-based auto giant, Honda, seems to also be open to embracing the crypto world.
And indeed, last October 2023, thanks to the partnership with FCF Pay, Honda began accepting payments in crypto such as Ripple (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE) for the purchase of its products.
Customers can both purchase and rent the company’s products, using as many as 46 cryptocurrencies supported by FCF Pay for Honda.
