Blink Charging's crypto payment integration: Strategic moves to crossroads with electric vehicle growth and digital currency adoption

Blink Charging Co. plans to enable cryptocurrency payments in its global electric vehicle charging network by the end of 2025 and accept Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple (XRP). The move is designed to attract tech-savvy EV drivers and leverage blockchain technology to enable secure, near-instant transactions. In the second quarter of 2025, the company's revenue grew 38% to $28.7 million, and its earnings per share soared 9.56%. This strategy sets Blink apart in a competitive market dominated by companies such as Virta and TotalEnergies that have not yet adopted cryptocurrency payments.
