According to the report, while
traditional methods of sending money can involve up to six intermediaries, blockchain transactions usually require only one or two, which significantly reduces costs.

As an example, Binance reported, on blockchains like Solana, the cost of transferring $200 can be as low as $0.00025.
The report also highlighted that the adoption of cryptocurrency payments, such as those offered by Binance Pay, has grown substantially. In the first half of 2024, Binance Pay saw a 43% increase in active users and a 9% growth in transaction volume compared to the previous half.
