“# 40% intend to use crypto for payments in the next year: Mastercard survey <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

A survey by credit card giant Mastercard has revealed that four in ten people plan to use cryptocurrency for payments within the next year.<\/p>\n

The survey<\/a>, published on May 4 and titled \u2018Consumer App<\/a>etite for Digital Payments Takes Off<\/em>\u2019, polled more than 15,500 people across 18 countries.<\/p>\n

It revealed that millennials are especially engaged in cryptocurrencies, with over two-thirds, or 67%, agreeing they are more open to using cryptocurrency than they were a year ago. Additionally, it reported that 77% of millennials are interested in learning more about cryptocurrency, while 75% agree they would use digital assets if they understood them better.<\/p>\n

Millennials are classified by the U.S. Census Bureau as people born between 1982 and 2000 which means that their age range in 2021 is between 21 and 39 years old.<\/p>\n

The move to expand access to cryptocurrencies has already begun \u2014 in mid-February Mastercard announced that it would support digital asset payments for its almost one billion users to use at more than 30 million merchants.<\/p>\n

The 40% figure for general<\/a> crypto usage spanned all ages surveyed, with respondents coming from North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific.<\/p>\n

Mastercard stated that, while consumer interest in \u201cfloating cryptocurrencies\u201d such as Bitcoin is high, work is still required to ensure consumer choice, protection, and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n

The pandemic has changed the way people think with regards to digital payments, it continued, adding that findings show 93% of people will consider using at least one emerging payment method, such as cryptocurrency, biometrics, contactless, or QR code, in the next year.<\/p>\n

Craig Vosburg, Chief Product Officer at MasterCard, stated that the company needs to enable all payment methods, including cryptocurrencies, going forward:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we look ahead, we need to continue to enable all choices, both in-store and online, to shape the fabric of commerce and make the digital economy work for everyone.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On May 3, Cointelegraph reported that the payments giant had launched an accelerator program for fintech startups, onboarding blockchain-based payments firms among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
