Blink Charging shares were 7% higher, at 77 cents, after the company said it began accepting cryptocurrency payments at select Blink-owned DC fast charging sites in the U.S.
The company, which owns, operates and provides electric-vehicle charging equipment and services, said the new payment feature allows EV drivers to pay for charging sessions using USD Coin on major blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Base.
Crypto payments are now live at two Florida Blink fast charging locations, with plans to expand availability across additional Blink-owned sites throughout 2026.
Blink Charging shares hit their 52-week low of 63 cents on Dec. 30, and are down 54% in the past 12 months.
