Crypto payment adoption among merchants is lagging not due to technology but education and confidence gaps, according to Tim Ferland, CEO of LetKnow Pay, speaking at iFX EXPO International. Despite growing interest across industries, most merchants lack the technical knowledge to integrate cryptocurrency payments into existing operations. LetKnow Pay operates as a crypto gateway allowing businesses to accept digital currencies while receiving fiat directly, eliminating asset management complexity. Ferland emphasized that consumer behavior is driving payment innovation, with customers increasingly comfortable using cryptocurrencies pushing merchants to find safe acceptance solutions. The challenge now centers on simplifying implementation and demonstrating commercial advantages rather than building infrastructure. Banking acceptance remains another key hurdle alongside education. Ferland stressed the future isn’t about choosing between crypto or fiat but integrating both payment methods to meet evolving customer expectations without adding operational burden for businesses.
