Cryptocurrency could soon reach a milestone, hitting one billion users by 2026. Pavlo Denysiuk, CEO of Lunu, projects a significant increase in crypto holders within the next two years, potentially tripling the current count. This was highlighted during his talk at NFT Fest 2024, indicating a bright future for digital currencies. According to the 2024 Cryptocurrency Ownership report by Triple-A, approximately 560 million people globally are already using crypto, nearly 7% of the world’s population.
The mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies appears inevitable. Denysiuk emphasized that once companies like Starbucks provide the necessary infrastructure, crypto payments will become commonplace. He argues that crypto transactions are not fundamentally different from using credit cards or digital payments already integrated into everyday commerce.
Crypto enthusiasts and industry experts see this trend as a positive move toward broader acceptance. Denysiuk’s perspective suggests that when businesses start accepting crypto as they do other payment methods, it will enhance the legitimacy and utility of digital currencies in the global market.
