Predictions are that nine out of 10 e-commerce vendors in India will offer cryptocurrency payment options on their website come 2024. This is according to a survey held in early 2022, asking e-commerce professionals on which payment method they are already offering and which ones they hope to either add or not add in the future. India has one of the highest crypto adoption rates worldwide, whereas the Netherlands is more into crypto than other countries in Europe. Brazil, however, does have a relatively high adoption but does not rank as high in this overview. This may indicate a difference between merchants perceiving how consumers want to use digital tokens - for online shopping payments - versus how consumers actually use them - as an investment tool.
