The research also revealed that SMEs (small and medium enterprises) were involved in the poll; more than 73% of the traders were worth about $10 million to $100 million and invested between $100,000 to $1 million to offer crypto trading in the platforms.

Deloitte stated that this cryptocurrency investment wouldn’t be short-lived. The company even projects the spending to rally through 2022. Over 60% of retailers explained that their budgets for facilitating cryptocurrency are anticipated to rise to about $500,000 through 2022.

While performing a market survey, customer interests are at the heart of the study. And more than 64% of companies said positive things about their customers supporting crypto adoption. Thus, there are also expected to facilitate crypto payment options.

Almost half of the polled senior executives observe that digital asset adoption will enhance their consumer experience. And another similar percentage is optimistic that it will boost their client base. About 40% said it will further develop their brand as “cutting edge.”

The survey reveals that many companies seek to collaborate with crypto platforms to provide these services to customers.
