A recent PayPal survey indicates that 85% of merchants expect cryptocurrency payments to become standard within five years. Conducted in October 2025, the survey involved 620 payment strategy decision-makers, revealing that nearly 90% of merchants have received customer inquiries about crypto payments, with 40% already supporting them. Among those accepting crypto, many report that such transactions constitute over a quarter of their sales, with three-quarters noting increased sales over the past year. Large enterprises lead in adoption, with 50% of companies earning over $500 million annually accepting crypto, compared to 34% of small and 32% of medium-sized businesses. The survey highlights the influence of stablecoin regulation, particularly following the GENIUS Act, on the growing acceptance of crypto payments.
