To pay someone in crypto you normally need their wallet address, the network, their country, their date of birth. Payout Links need one thing: their email address. They supply the rest themselves, on a wallet they choose. Live now: coingate.com/blog/post/intro…

Until this week, accepting crypto deposits worked one way: new invoice, new address, every single time. Now there's a second way. A payment channel is a permanent blockchain deposit address tied to one client. They deposit whenever they need to, with no checkout and no expiry. Every deposit is detected, attributed to the right client, and settled the way you choose: keep the crypto or auto-convert to EUR, USD, or GBP. No more invoices, expired addresses, no reconciliation spreadsheets quietly growing in someone's downloads folder. If your business receives repeated deposits from the same clients (ad networks, marketplaces, SaaS, hosting, proxy services), this removes an entire category of work. Channels are enabled on request while we scale access. The announcement covers how it works and how to get started. coingate.com/blog/post/intro…

For years, BTC was the most-used payment asset at our checkout. In H1 2026, that changed. Our new data report is out, covering 782,403 crypto payments processed between January and June. The short version: stablecoins moved to the front. A few numbers that stood out: USDC finished the half at 22.1%, overtaking BTC at 21.0% as the most-used payment asset. Its share more than doubled in a year, from 9.3% to 22.1%. 75.4% of orders were settled to fiat, and the crypto-settled share has now fallen for three halves in a row. Merchants want predictable cash flow and clean books. 93.2% of payouts ran through the API, up from 83.3% a year earlier. Manual payouts are quietly disappearing. Volume grew 21.4% year over year with no single spike. Crypto payments are behaving less like a campaign and more like infrastructure. The full report covers asset mix, settlement, networks, geography, and a practical checklist for your own setup. Find it in the comment section.

EURC (Euro Coin) stablecoin is now live on CoinGate. You can use it across the full flow: payments, payouts, refunds, deposits and currency conversion. For now it runs on the Ethereum network. Here's why it matters. Most European businesses that accept stablecoins end up holding dollars. Nothing wrong with that... until you need to pay euro invoices, euro salaries, euro taxes, and the EUR/USD rate gets a say in how much you actually keep. EURC fixes that. If your books are in euros, your stablecoin can be too. Your euros stay euros, from the moment a customer pays to the moment you put the funds to work. Thinking it's time your settlements spoke the same language as your accounting? Start with us.

1.4 billion adults don't have access to international banking. Some of your best freelance candidates are in that group, and right now your payment stack can't reach them. Crypto and stablecoin payouts can.

Affiliate networks lose partners over payout friction. Stablecoin transfers cost under $1, settle in minutes, and reach wallets worldwide. 85% of our merchants already automate this via API, and you can too!

Happy Doge Day! 🚀 It began with a meme. Today, it moves payments around the world. Much wow, still.

Since we integrated @ethereum back in 2018, the community has made over 660,000 payments with $ETH. Have you spent ETH?

4️⃣ It also made operations easier. Less manual accounting, fewer payment issues, and in some cases, crypto became the default. That’s the real impact. 😎

1️⃣ What actually happens when a business adds crypto payments? We looked at 5 companies. Here’s what changed. 👇

Handling Bitcoin payments manually led to losses and banking issues. After switching to CoinGate, everything became smooth and reliable. Today, 24% of MVPS customers pay with crypto. 😎

Getting started is easy. 😎

Our merchant @adsbycoinzilla automated their payouts to 160+ countries. Their finance team stopped drowning in manual work.

Paying vendors, partners, or contractors across borders?  The process can get slow, payments fail, and recipients keep asking when they'll get paid.

Handling crypto payments across multiple wallets, currencies, and compliance rules is messy. Many teams end up reconciling balances manually every week. 🫠 Putting everything in one place, with automated checks and conversions, makes day-to-day operations much simpler.

Since we integrated @Ripple back in 2019, the community has made over 114,000 payments with $XRP. What have you spent XRP on?

MiCA has changed how EU businesses pick their crypto payment providers. Before: fragmented rules, merchants carried the risk. Now: providers are licensed, supervised, and held accountable. If your business accepts crypto, your provider choice matters more than ever.

Since we integrated @dogecoin back in 2021, the community has made around 100,000 payments with it. Have you made payments with Doge?

We’re heading to ITB Berlin next week! 👋 Travel is global, and payments should be too. With 560M+ crypto users worldwide, more travelers are choosing crypto for bookings and experiences. See you in Berlin! 🇩🇪

In 2025, crypto usage went beyond checkout. Crypto settlements rose from 27% to 37.5% as more merchants kept crypto on their balance sheets. Businesses also used crypto payouts to pay vendors, partners, and contractors, making crypto a regular part of business transactions.

jeez, time flies!

USDC became much more than a checkout option in 2025. It moved from 7th to 4th among the most-used payment methods, with volume up 1264% YoY. USDC settlements also rose from 0.01% to 12.6%, indicating that more businesses chose to keep funds in USDC rather than convert to fiat.

Crypto adoption is growing, and so are regulatory expectations. In Europe, MiCA-licensed payment processors operate under supervision with ongoing compliance obligations. Unlicensed providers do not. For businesses thinking long term, licensing is a risk management choice.
