Cryptocurrency/stablecoin payments

Statistics report on the attitude toward and acceptance of cryptocurrency and stablecoin as a digital payment method

With stablecoins having received regulation in the U.S., will cryptocurrency now become a payment method, and move beyond being an investment vehicle? This report explores the current status quo, sharing research results from several years up to 2025.

First, it displays the estimated market size of cryptocurrency and stablecoins in digital payments. It focuses especially on e-commerce, although the report also has figures on inflow and outflow for seven countries. Second, it aims to provide insights into consumer demographics and why they would like to see cryptocurrency as a payment method, or not. Third, figures from industry experts portray how financial services interpreted digital assets.

Some of the key questions asked in this report include: How big are digital payments within the overall cryptocurrency market? Which countries are more likely to pay with digital assets? Which industries accept payments with digital assets?

Note that cryptocurrency and stablecoin are decentralized, meaning no central - government or monetary - body is able to track data. Transactions on the blockchain, for example, are deliberately designed to not be traced to the country of origin or the destination of the payment. Data can, therefore, be inconsistent or incomplete, as they rely either on custom consumer surveys or web tracking services.
