REAL Jet and Crypto.com Launch Crypto.com Pay for Private Charter Flights

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — REAL Jet, a REAL SLX company, has officially launched Crypto.com Pay on its charter booking platform, giving customers a new option to pay for private flights. With the integration, REAL Jet becomes the first private aviation company to accept Crypto.com Pay for private charter flights.

Customers with a Crypto.com account who book through REAL Jet can now select Crypto.com Pay, with transactions processed securely and in compliance with applicable regulatory standards. Crypto.com Pay is available to eligible U.S. residents for bookings priced and settled in U.S. dollars (USD), making the option available within the same checkout flow used for charter reservations.

The launch builds on the Crypto.com–REAL partnership formed in February 2026 to reimagine VIP experiences across business, sport, and culture.

“In 2001, we created the fractional jet card, making private aviation accessible to a much wider audience. Crypto.com Pay is the next leap forward. Crypto.com has more than 100 million users and they’re building for the next 100 million. These are the people that REAL Jet was built to serve. This generation transacts the way they live: instant, digital, and frictionless,” said Kenny Dichter, Founder and Chairman of REAL SLX.

“Partnering with REAL Jet is a milestone for Crypto.com and our Crypto.com Pay feature, which was designed for ease of use and seamless integration,” said Joe Anzures, Chief Business Officer, Crypto.com. “We are proud to support REAL Jet as it embraces the crypto payments space.”

The collaboration comes as Crypto.com expands across all asset classes. In July 2026, Crypto.com secured a $400 million strategic investment from Citadel Securities, its first institutional funding round, valuing the company at $20 billion. For private aviation, the move adds another payment option in a high-value booking category where speed and convenience are part of the service offering, while for Crypto.com it extends Crypto.com Pay into an additional real-world use case. The companies said the development reflects broader momentum as digital assets continue to move into the mainstream, with adoption and institutional interest rising globally.
