The crypto industry has been subjected to false news yet again. Earlier this week, news broke that gaming giant Roblox has begun supporting XRP payments. However, the global gaming platform has publicly denied any claims that have made the rounds on social media.

Roblox Rebuts Fake XRP Payment Support Claims

Online gaming platform and gaming creation system, Roblox has denied all statements of supporting XRP payments or any other crypto-related payment method. A representative for the video game company reportedly told Decrypt that the information about integrating crypto payments was “inaccurate” and “simply false.”

The rumors started at the beginning of the week when Bitcoin payment service provider Bitpay, made a post on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that Xsolla, a video game company has started accepting cryptocurrency payments, among which was the XRP token. 

In the now-deleted post, Bitpay had tagged several gaming companies including Roblox and SMITE, which led to rumors spreading of the video game integrating the XRP payments method in its platform. 

BitPay has since retracted its announcement. However, the information had already spread across multiple networks and broadcasted on many news outlets. 

For now, the video game still maintains its primary payment methods which include debit and credit cards, as well as Roblox Gift cards. The popular gaming company has made it clear that it does not enable or accept any form of cryptocurrency payment methods including Bitcoin.
