AMC Theatres, the largest movie theater chain in the U.S., will now accept bitcoin, ether and other cryptocurrencies for online payments, CEO Adam Aron said.
- Following reports in August that AMC would be accepting crypto for tickets and concessions later in the year, Aron confirmed that the service is now in operation.
- “As promised, many new ways NOW to pay online at AMC. We proudly now accept: drumroll, please… bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash, litecoin,” he tweeted on Friday.

Telegram Ring Ran Pump-and-Dump Network That Netted $800K in a Month: Solidus Labs
A Solidus Labs investigation details how an invite-only Telegram group used bots, fake narratives and rapid token deployments across Solana and BNB Chain to manipulate markets.
What to know:
- PumpCell orchestrated synchronized token launches, sniper-bot buys and meme-driven hype campaigns to inflate micro-cap tokens to seven-figure valuations within minutes, according to a new forensic investigation by Solidus Labs.
- The group generated an estimated $800,000 in October 2025, moving funds through centralized exchanges and an OTC cash broker to allegedly evade compliance controls.
- Solidus says crypto’s AMM-driven markets, bot execution and cross-chain pseudonymity make such schemes difficult for legacy monitoring tools to detect — and warns PumpCell reflects a broader, evolving pattern of digital-asset abuse.
