Trustech 2025 – Cryptopayments

Are cryptopayments going to take off at last ?

Until recently, the use of cryptocurrencies or stablecoins for the payment of goods and services in the “real world” had been growing at a relatively slow pace.This was the case even though most established payment service providers (Visa, Stripe, PayPal, Worldline, etc.) had developed crypto payment offerings by connecting with players in the crypto world, such as Coinbase or Circle.

However, the recent massive growth of stablecoins and their increasing adoption by the general public appear to be reinforcing the belief in a bright future for crypto payments.

At the same time, the development of B2B infrastructures and services to support merchants, financial institutions, and companies in adopting and accepting cryptocurrencies is lowering the barrier to entry into the crypto ecosystem—across financial, technical, regulatory, accounting, and tax-related dimensions.

In this session, experts and representatives from market players will provide a cross-sectional view of this maturing market, as well as insights into the challenges it may pose for “traditional” payments.”
