The growing popularity of digital currencies has led businesses to consider accepting them as a means of payment.
According to a study by Deloitte, almost seven out of 10 of the businesses in Mexico plan to add the payment with cryptocurrencies in the next two years, and the sectors that are promoting this modality the most are fashion, travel, real estate, electronics and luxury items.
The popularity in these sectors is mainly related to the degree of education that their applicants have, since the profile of people who have cryptocurrencies are those who have a high level of knowledge about these assets, and also have a higher than average income level. , because these people regularly use cryptos to trade or as an alternative method to traditional investments.
At Endeavor Day, Erick Nuñez, co-founder of Zenkipay, explained that the fact that more and more companies accept cryptocurrencies as a means of payment would imply a boost in the globalization of payments, financial innovation and a better experience for consumers.
“To do business, you have to charge with what the user wants to pay and with what has value. In Mexico we have made great progress on issues of the Fintech Law, which generates the fundamental bases, especially for the protection of digital assets as they are known,” Nuñez said.
Among the benefits of using crypto as a means of payment is the inclusion of businesses in the cryptographic universe, as well as rapid implementation and accreditation that this value will be reflected in their local currency.
“The issue of the evolution of payments in the country was very much based on issues of card payments and if you remember, streaming and delivery services could only be done with credit cards, so it became natural and today we see that same evolution in the adoption of cryptocurrencies”, added the co-founder of Zenkipay.
