Here’s a quick recap of what CoinGate has managed to achieve in the first two quarters of 2021.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4840" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-1024x535.png" alt="" width="1024" height="535" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-1024x535.png 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-150x78.png 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-300x157.png 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-768x401.png 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-1920x1004.png 1920w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-1680x878.png 1680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-1240x648.png 1240w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-860x450.png 860w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-680x355.png 680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-500x261.png 500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-400x209.png 400w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-200x105.png 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/cbf47b2d-cover_chart-50x26.png 50w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />
This is our very first CoinGate product usage and metrics report. It is intended to bring increased awareness and transparency to our user base, community, and others who are interested in learning more about CoinGate’s offerings. With this report, we aim to provide an overview of the key trends and developments currently happening at CoinGate, along with the data on what drives our business decisions. By improving transparency, we hope to inspire potential users to take their first steps into cryptocurrency invoicing, payments, and gift cards.
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Market Trends</h2>
The global cryptocurrency market soared in the first months of 2021, and topped the <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff9900;" href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-crypto-currency-marketcap-idUSKBN2BS1I7">€2 trillion mark</a> for the first time in April this year. Low ownership costs, quicker and safer transactions, when compared to traditional modalities of finance, are some of the factors that augment the market growth globally. In addition, the uncertainty in the global macroeconomic climate and varying currency exchange rates, the rise in fiat interest rates, and/or additional charges across all international transactions are further anticipated to boost the cryptocurrency market in the coming years. 
Although the market has seen some corrections since its’ all time high market cap, it is still on a trend to continue in shaping the future of finance. 
<h2 style="text-align: left;">User Base</h2>
“The more, the merrier“ – this bit of collective wisdom holds true, even in the crypto world. CoinGate is happy to announce, that during the first half of 2021 we had a total of 52,000 new registered users, which adds up to the total of 240,000 users that have registered within our platform. Like with most statistics you will see on this report, just during the first half of 2021, we have already hit last year’s target, and from now on – it’s growth, sweet growth.
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4832" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-1024x249.png" alt="CoinGate User base" width="1024" height="249" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-1024x249.png 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-150x36.png 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-300x73.png 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-768x187.png 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-1920x467.png 1920w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-1680x408.png 1680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-1240x301.png 1240w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-860x209.png 860w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-680x165.png 680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-500x122.png 500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-400x97.png 400w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-200x49.png 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/d3ca86a9-01_users-50x12.png 50w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> 
New business accounts</h2>
The figure presented below represents new businesses onboarding to CoinGate. As illustrated in the graph, our B2B user base is growing at a tremendous pace of over 67.1% per the last 6 months.
This growth can be attributed to our ongoing business developments with top crypto companies in addition to delivering more features to our products for a better user experience overall. For instance, we recently added more <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/supported-currencies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cryptocurrency options</a>, and more options for invoices to be denominated in fiat. Additionally, CoinGate provides simple <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff9900;" href="https://coingate.com/integration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">integration methods</a>, such as API integration, payment buttons, plugins – all of which can help businesses to <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/accept" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collect crypto payments</a> with ease. 
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4833" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-1024x249.png" alt="CoinGate Business users" width="1024" height="249" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-1024x249.png 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-150x36.png 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-300x73.png 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-768x187.png 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-1920x467.png 1920w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-1680x408.png 1680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-1240x301.png 1240w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-860x209.png 860w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-680x165.png 680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-500x122.png 500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-400x97.png 400w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-200x49.png 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/a505d9ac-02_business-50x12.png 50w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> 
Invoices created &amp; paid</h2>
This metric provides insights that we can use to improve user experience, aiming to increase the paid versus issued invoice ratio and reduce the barriers to payment.
During the first six months of 2021 more than 1,500,000 merchant orders have been created out of which 15% has been successfully processed and paid, accumulating to a total of over 230,000 orders. Thanks to this, the total number of processed invoices has reached more than 1.3 million
Again, we have already hit last year’s turnover figure, and expect to double it in the coming months. An annual growth rate that far exceeds 100% shows not just tremendous uptakes in crypto acception, but also highlights the trust that our merchants have shown towards CoinGate’s products.
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4835" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-1024x249.png" alt="CoinGate orders" width="1024" height="249" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-1024x249.png 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-150x36.png 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-300x73.png 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-768x187.png 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-1920x467.png 1920w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-1680x408.png 1680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-1240x301.png 1240w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-860x209.png 860w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-680x165.png 680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-500x122.png 500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-400x97.png 400w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-200x49.png 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/07/0622c844-03_orders-50x12.png 50w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> 
Currency breakdown on payments</h2>
We are continuously rolling out support for additional currencies as means of payment with CoinGate. Much of the decisions made for listing the next currency depend on the use cases of our users and business partners.
BTC continues its lead as the most used cryptocurrency for payments. This hardly comes as a surprise, and can be attributed to the currency’s strong market presence, and deep trust among our clientbase. Although its dominance is still present, <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-dominance-btcd-continues-descent-114741958.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC has been losing momentum</a> and popularity among crypto holders and businesses, and BTC usage has been on the decline for several months now.
The other most-preferred coins for payments are LTC, followed by ETH and TRX. <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff9900;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/doge-support-much-wow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DOGE has been a memetastic success</a> so far, but only time can tell whether these results will stick. The rest of the cryptocurrencies that are used as payments and presented in the chart are: XRP, BCH, USDT, BTT, NANO, DAI, and several more.

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Gift cards</h2>
Here at CoinGate, our main mission is to bring cryptocurrency closer to mass adoption, and one of the methods in fulfilling this mission is our <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/gift-cards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gift Cards Store</a>. Since we introduced our Gift Card Store in July 2020, we have seen an increasing growth in both transactions and engagement in our gift card marketplace. 
 
The turnover in the first two quarters of the year was a whopping 900% more than it was for the first 6 months when gift cards launched, while the amount of gift cards sold is 6 times more within the same period. 
 
The increased demand for gift cards and the need for people to spend their cryptocurrencies is attributing to the growth of this product. Additionally, we are constantly fulfilling the demand of the users by adding lots of new gift cards every month. By now, our gift card store has more than 1,000 gift cards to choose from, and we are not stopping there.

<h2 style="text-align: left;">What is Apple Pay, anyway?</h2>
Although you’ve probably heard it before, but reminding won’t hurt. Apple pay is Apple iOS contactless payment technology, allowing you to pay using using your iPhone or Apple Watch instead of a card. 
Apple Pay works in any store or website that accepts contactless payments and is supported by hundreds of thousands apps worldwide, allowing you to buy numerous goods and services.

Blockchain payment processor company <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff9900;" href="https://coingate.com/accept">CoinGate</a> is relisting XRP as a tradeable, payable and payment-acceptable asset for its non-US users.

XRP was on the brink of its virtual end, after the SEC filed its lawsuit against Ripple Labs back in December 2020, alleging the company violating U.S securities laws in selling XRP to retailers. This had instant repercussions for XRP, as many US-based crypto platforms and exchanges started delisting one of the most popular digital assets out there. 
 
However, the case began to turn in Ripple’s favor after the first court hearings, where one of the judges observed that XRP “also has a utility and that utility distinguished it [XRP] from Bitcoin and Ether”
Consequently, once the tides started to turn out of SEC’s favor, XRP price began to rally, surging above $1.03 (75% increase per 7 days) as of time of writing. The price increase signalizes both the well-perceived gear shift in the lawsuit, as well as the growing demand from the crypto community to relist XRP in crypto platforms. 
Knowing this, CoinGate is announcing that it is relisting XRP as a tradeable and payable asset for its non-US citizens. The geographical restrictions are still compulsory as there is still legal uncertainty in the lawsuit between SEC and Ripple.  
XRP can be bought by  <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff9900;" href="https://coingate.com/buy/bank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEPA bank transfer</a> and <a href="https://buy.coingate.com/">credit or debit card</a>. It can also be used to pay any invoices via the <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff9900;" href="https://dashboard.coingate.com/login">CoinGate’s dashboard</a> when logged in and accepted as a mean of payment for merchants.
