That’s just 0.02% of global payments.
So what does this really mean? 👇

🔮 #2026CryptoOutlook | What’s Next for the Crypto Market?
As we move closer to 2026, the crypto market is entering a new phase — less hype, more real adoption. The focus is shifting from short-term speculation to long-term infrastructure and institutional growth.
