Cryptocurrency payment acceptance among e-commerce merchants in 2024, by region
Cryptocurrency was more likely to be accepted as an e-commerce payment method in *** regions worldwide, although the acceptance rate did not exceed ** percent. This is according to a survey held in late 2024 among payment management professionals working at e-commerce merchants worldwide. The source states that crypto ranked as the least accepted payment method, even if merchants in the Americas were more likely to accept. No additional information was provided as to why merchants wanted to have this payment option on their website or not.
