Cuban Confirms Dallas Mavericks Still Accepts Dogecoin

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has confirmed that the NBA team continues to accept Dogecoin (DOGE) as a payment method. In response to a query from a user on X,” Cuban confirmed the integration exists with a “Yes.”

The original announcement dates back to March 2021, when BitPay integrated Dogecoin payments for merchants and consumers. The Dallas Mavericks, known for their early crypto adoption, were one of the first in the crypto-sports partnerships with the meme coin acceptance.

DOGE as a payment medium

Bitcoin became one of the payment methods for the Mavs in 2019.

The addition of DOGE allowed ‘Mavs Fans for Life or MFFLs’ to utilize Dogecoin to purchase game tickets and merchandise online, expanding accessibility to Mavs gear.

Continued acceptance of Dogecoin in 2024 leads to discussions about the meme coin’s growth potential this year. What is noteworthy in this discussion is Elon Musk’s recent mention of X’s integrated payments feature. The launch brings renewed attention to Dogecoin’s utility and integration into the payment ecosystem.

One of the major markets for DOGE has been India.
