Namecheap has been accepting Bitcoin payments for a long time and was the first domain registrar to do so, starting in 2013 through BitPay . In 2020, they partnered with BTCPay to give customers even more payment options and flexibility. BTCPay also serves as a backup in case there are problems with other Bitcoin payment platforms.
