The use of blockchain technology for payments is growing, as Ethereum has processed $3.01 trillion in transactions, just slightly less than Visa's $3.08 trillion. Despite its association with scammers and cybercriminals, Ethereum has become the second-largest network with a market capitalization of $227.8 billion, due to its versatility in powering various financial technology solutions. Established players such as Visa and Mastercard are recognizing the potential of Ethereum and experimenting with its technology to improve their payment systems. Additionally, businesses should consider accepting Ethereum due to its low gas fees and other benefits.
