A new Visa survey shows that roughly a quarter of merchants plan to start accepting cryptocurrencies this year
The company has surveyed 2,250 small-scale business owners from nine countries.
Almost a third of merchants from Brazil, Singapore and some other countries are willing to add cryptocurrency payments. In sharp contrast, only 8% of the respondents from Canada said that they would allow their customers to pay with digital currencies. The U.S. is somewhat in the middle, with 19% of the surveyed business owners claiming that they would add support for cryptocurrencies in 2022.Cryptocurrencies have made great inroads in terms of mainstream acceptance last year, but many merchants are still hesitant to accept them due to extreme volatility and regulatory concerns. Those who do accept crypto usually convert it into fiat right away with the help of BitPay and other payment processors.
Leading e-car manufacturer Tesla started accepting Bitcoin in May, but it then suspended payments due to climate-related concerns.
