Trip.com, the overseas version of Ctrip, has supported booking hotels and flights using stablecoins (such as USDT and USDC) since December 25, 2025, and supports multiple public blockchains through the Singapore-licensed institution Triple-A. This makes it easier for users to use cryptocurrencies to book travel on the platform, and in some cases, even at more favorable prices.
Supported currencies: USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin).
Supported public blockchains include Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum One (Arbitrum), and TON.
How to use: Booking a hotel only requires your name and email address, while booking a flight requires your passport and other information. The process is similar to traditional payment.
Advantages: Some prices may be lower than traditional payment methods, promoting the use of cryptocurrency in the travel sector.
Past related cooperation
A few years ago, Binance also partnered with TravelbyBit to launch a debit card that allowed users to use BTC to book travel websites, including Ctrip, through TravelbyBit.
In summary, Trip.com's direct support for mainstream stablecoin payments represents a significant advancement in the application of cryptocurrency in the travel industry.
