US Crypto Payments

How $10.4 Billion in Transactions Is Upending B2B, Retail, and Remittances

Cryptocurrencies are now a mainstream—albeit volatile—investment tool. But blockchain-based payments are just beginning to catch on. Over the coming years, we expect growing use of cryptos for retail, cross-border remittances, and B2B payments. Incumbent banks and payment networks must carefully weigh crypto opportunities against risks to ride the crypto wave—without getting swept up in the crash.
