CRYPTO: SWITCHING FROM SAVINGS TO PAYMENTS

[INFOGRAPHIC]

If some 10 years ago cryptocurrency was something complicated and difficult to access, several years ago things changed. Financial experts started to consider it as a good asset. But it doesn’t end there. Besides investments, cryptocurrency is becoming more commonly used in daily life. And our research from the Scanteam.pro team is here to prove it.

We’ve analyzed the development of this payment system over the years, taking into account the most popular consumption fields. According to this, 93% of consumers are considering using emerging payments in the next year. In addition to contactless, these include biometrics, QR codes, as well as digital currencies. So, what is the future of this currency, and is it worth your time?

NUMBER OF CRYPTOCURRENCY USERS
The best way to prove that the payment solution is popular is to make sure that it is widely used by real customers. For this reason, we’ve analyzed the statistics of each month in the period of June 2020–January 2021. And the results are astonishing: the number of cryptocurrency users has been growing constantly.
If in June 2020 there were 73 million users, in January 2021 this amount reached 106 million. According to the graphic, this growth is natural and smooth: new users appear each month. And we are sure that our next research will show even bigger growth.
