As digital payments evolve, crypto is no longer just a speculative asset—it's becoming a serious checkout option. Between 2025 and 2030, the share of merchants accepting cryptocurrency payments is projected to rise from 34% to 61% in the EU and from 28% to 54% in the U.S., with the most traction in industries like fashion, electronics, travel, and digital goods. Driving this adoption are lower fees (1.1–1.8%), instant settlement capabilities, and increasing consumer demand for payment flexibility and anonymity.

‍

During this period, the average crypto transaction value is expected to increase from $80 to $140, with merchants reporting 12–15% higher average order values compared to card-based checkouts. Merchant crypto processors such as BitPay and Coinbase Commerce are forecasted to handle over $40 billion in combined annual transaction volume by 2030. Additionally, the adoption of stablecoins (USDC, USDT) is expected to overtake Bitcoin by transaction count due to their price stability, especially in the EU market. Over 70% of merchants using crypto payments are projected to opt for auto-conversion to fiat to minimize volatility exposure.

Crypto payments are shaping up to be a new layer in global commerce, not just as a novelty, but as a cost-saving, revenue-lifting mechanism in digital retail.
