Crypto payments remain marginal in eurozone, ECB finds 0.2% online acceptance
The European Central Bank found that cryptocurrency acceptance among merchants in the euro area remains minimal, at just 0.2% of online retailers and below 1% at physical points of sale, while mobile payments continue to gain traction.
Why it matters for the crypto market
Persistent low merchant adoption in a major economic bloc indicates that crypto has not achieved mainstream payment utility, constraining its role as a transactions medium.
