Odaily Planet Daily reported that as Bitcoin surged to a historic high of over $100,000 in December last year, the non-custodial cryptocurrency payment gateway NOWPayments reported an increase in adoption as businesses increasingly turn to cryptocurrency payment solutions to meet consumer demand. NOWPayments Marketing Manager Alex Yarovinski stated, "We observed an 8% increase in the overall adoption of cryptocurrency payments within just a week when Bitcoin previously reached a milestone price," noting that this growth was measured by comparing data from the week before and after the U.S. election results. Yarovinski added that the current market conditions "show a more optimistic trend, with growing interest in cryptocurrency payments, although the pace differs from previous cycles." (Decrypt)
