Ripple Study: Crypto Payments To Lag In Latam Compared To Other Regions
The most recent crypto payments study by Ripple and the Faster Payments Council, a U.S. membership organization, indicates that Latam businesses would deploy cryptocurrency-based solutions more gradually than merchants in other countries.

67% of the nearly 300 payment institutions surveyed for the survey think it will take over three years for cryptocurrency payment usage in Latam to take off. Comparatively, the poll reveals that more than 80% of these leaders predict that more than 50% of the merchants will accept crypto payments in less than three years when dealing with regions like Africa.
Latam lags behind other markets like Europe and APAC, which are likewise expected to have a far more significant adoption of cryptocurrency payments than Latam.
