Transaction value of crypto gateway payments worldwide in 2023, with a 2030 forecast
Cryptocurrency payments are forecast to grow at a CAGR of nearly 17 percent between 2023 and 2030, although the market is relatively small. The forecast is according to a market estimate made in early 2023, based on various conditions and sources available at that time. It should be noted, however, that cryptocurrency used for payments is predicted to be a far smaller market than the predicted transaction value of CBDC, or the forecast market size of instant payments. Indeed, research from early 2023 across 40 countries suggested that the market share of cryptocurrency in e-commerce transaction was "less than one percent" in all survey countries, with predictions being this would not change in the future.
