Real Jet enables clients to settle up through Crypto.com Pay
Customers with a Crypto.com account, booking through Real Jet, can now select Crypto.com Pay, with transactions processed securely and in compliance with applicable regulatory standards.
Kenny Dichter says the system is frictionless.

Real Jet, a Real SLX company, has launched Crypto.com Pay, allowing customers to use the digital payment solution on its charter booking platform. With it, Real Jet becomes the first private aviation company to accept Crypto.com Pay for private charter flights.

Created by the founders of Marquis Jet and Wheels Up, Real Jet delivers global access to premium aircraft with flexible booking and a commitment to safety, precision and seamless execution. The company arranges flights on aircraft operated by FAR Part 135 air carriers or foreign equivalent that maintain full operational control of charter flights at all times.

Customers with a Crypto.com account, booking 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 US residents for bookings priced and settled in USD. 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,” comments 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,” adds 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 accelerates its expansion 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. This is one of many signals that digital assets are entering the mainstream, as adoption and institutional interest continue to rise across the globe.

Founded in 2016, Crypto.com is trusted by millions of users worldwide and is the industry leader in regulatory compliance, security and privacy. Its vision is simple: Cryptocurrency in Every Wallet. Crypto.com is committed to accelerating the adoption of cryptocurrency through innovation and development of new use cases including prediction markets and tokenised RWAs.
