The broader shift to digital commerce has given rise to thousands of financial technology players, such as buy-now-pay-later, direct software integrations, various cashless-payment providers, cryptocurrencies, and more. The result is projected strong 5-year growth for global payments-related revenue.<\/p>\n<p>According to the BCG report, by 2030 the total global revenue from payment transactions will nearly double to $2.9 trillion by 2030, up from roughly $1.5 trillion in 2020.<\/p>\n<div id=\"everviz-mCAwpAFmg\" class=\"everviz-mCAwpAFmg\"><script src=\"https:\/\/app.everviz.com\/inject\/mCAwpAFmg\/\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>The report also addressed the growth in payments by global region.<\/p>\n<div id=\"everviz-9MVBj8s5S\" class=\"everviz-9MVBj8s5S\"><script src=\"https:\/\/app.everviz.com\/inject\/9MVBj8s5S\/\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/div>\n<h3>Cryptocurrency<\/h3>\n<p>McKinsey &amp; Company, the global consulting firm, surveys U.S. consumers annually for insights on digital payments trends. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/financial-services\/our-insights\/banking-matters\/new-trends-in-us-consumer-digital-payments\">2021 survey<\/a> addressed crypto. Twenty percent of respondents stated they held or have held cryptocurrencies, up from 6% in 2020.

An index from Chainalysis, a blockchain data and research firm, shows the overall global adoption by country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.chainalysis.com\/reports\/2021-global-crypto-adoption-index\/\">The index<\/a> scores countries on three metrics: total crypto activity, trading activity of non-professional users, and peer-to-peer exchange trade volume. All are weighted by purchasing power parity per capita. The Chainalysis index ranges from 0 to 1. We have multiplied the scores by 100 to facilitate the map below.<\/p>\n<div id=\"everviz-fg-wA9wRY\" class=\"everviz-fg-wA9wRY\"><script src=\"https:\/\/app.everviz.com\/inject\/fg-wA9wRY\/\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Most of the top 20 countries are emerging economies, including Togo, Colombia, and Afghanistan.
