Since that dawn of the cryptocurrency era, a new wave of financial adoption has emerged. Businesses have started rapidly accepting digital currencies as a payment method at their checkout, expanding their global user reach and entering untapped markets.

Are there actual, tangible benefits to adapting a crypto-friendly mindset, and putting that mindset into practice by <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/accept">accepting cryptocurrency payments</a>? These were the exact questions that troubled <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://zenmarket.jp/">ZenMarket</a> prior to integrating CoinGate’s cryptocurrency payment solution.
<h2>The Problem</h2>
<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-5030 alignleft" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/12/7c2dbdc2-zenmarket-logo.png" alt="" width="205" height="205" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/12/7c2dbdc2-zenmarket-logo.png 205w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/12/7c2dbdc2-zenmarket-logo-150x150.png 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/12/7c2dbdc2-zenmarket-logo-200x200.png 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/12/7c2dbdc2-zenmarket-logo-50x50.png 50w" sizes="(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px" />
ZenMarket, one of the biggest online shopping services in Japan, has always accepted traditional payment methods, as does the majority of businesses around the world. Most would be surprised to know that Japan was a <a class="c-link keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" tabindex="-1" href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/04/is-cashless-leading-to-a-more-inclusive-society-in-east-asia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/04/is-cashless-leading-to-a-more-inclusive-society-in-east-asia/" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">cash-based society</a> for a long time, and many places in Japan did not accept card payment for quite a while. However, the <a class="c-link keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" tabindex="-1" href="https://blog.btrax.com/cashless-trends-in-japan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://blog.btrax.com/cashless-trends-in-japan/" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">recent studies</a> and trends are showing signs of Japanese people moving away from physical money and cashless technologies are getting more popular.
Despite this, there has been <a class="c-link keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" tabindex="-1" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-02/first-crypto-fund-in-japan-targets-long-term-retail-investors" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-02/first-crypto-fund-in-japan-targets-long-term-retail-investors" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">significant growth</a> in popularity for cryptocurrencies among Japanese youth. Moreover, Japan’s officials have recognized cryptocurrencies as a <a class="c-link keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" tabindex="-1" href="https://complyadvantage.com/insights/crypto-regulations/cryptocurrency-regulations-japan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://complyadvantage.com/insights/crypto-regulations/cryptocurrency-regulations-japan/" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">viable method of payment</a> for goods and services.
But there was a fundamental problem – the lack of places where you can spend cryptocurrencies. Currently there is a handful of <a class="c-link keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" tabindex="-1" href="https://icoholder.com/blog/places-accept-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://icoholder.com/blog/places-accept-bitcoin/" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">shops that accept cryptocurrency</a> in Japan and worldwide, but before ZenMarket partnered with CoinGate, there was a growing demand of places where consumers can spend their Bitcoin.  
Although Japan is not the core market for ZenMarket due to its global operations, they understood the demand and the uniqueness of the solution, thus ZenMarket saw a perfect chance to carve out its competitive advantage and increase its user base by accepting cryptocurrency payments.
<h2>The Solution</h2>

After opening its business account on CoinGate, ZenMarket went through a quick <a class="c-link keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" tabindex="-1" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/verify-merchant-account-faq" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://34.90.149.110/2019/05/verify-merchant-account-faq/" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">verification process</a>. When done right, verifying your business is rather quick, while CoinGate support makes it even easier than it really is. 
Following the successful verification, ZenMarket integrated its cryptocurrency payment method via an API. It’s the most customizable and popular payment solution on CoinGate, allowing to process more than 70 cryptocurrency payment virtually on any website. API is just one of the several <a class="c-link keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" tabindex="-1" href="https://coingate.com/integration" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://coingate.com/integration" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">integration methods</a> that we are offering here at CoinGate.

<h3>+264% increase in sales</h3>
Although the total amount of crypto transactions for ZenMarket are about only 1%  of its total monthly sales, ZenMarket sees gradual growth number every month. Crypto transaction have more than tripled since the introduction of digital currency payments. This has led to an increase in its user base and a staggering +264% increase in sales compared to the same period last year.
<h3>Increase in brand awareness</h3>
As ZenMarket started to advertise itself as crypto-friendly, media quickly caught the attention of it. Blog articles popped up on <a class="c-link keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://zenmarket.jp/en/blog/post/9201/where-can-i-use-bitcoin-in-japan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://zenmarket.jp/en/blog/post/9201/where-can-i-use-bitcoin-in-japan" data-sk="tooltip_parent">how to use Bitcoin in Japan</a>, which keeps attracting thousands of visitors every month.
ZenMarket’s decision to integrate cryptocurrency payments for their proxy shopping services has been profoundly successful. It not only allowed its customers to pay with more than 70 cryptocurrencies (including BTC, ETH, DOGE, SHIBA, and many more) from anywhere around the world, but it also allowed ZenMarket’s global users to avoid costly currency conversions that happen during cross-border banking transactions. On top of that, ZenMarket took the advantage of cheaper transaction costs, as it is relatively lower than any traditional payment provider (1% fee compared to traditional 2.5-3% fee).
ZenMarket embraced the new base of a global audience that wants to spend their cryptocurrency, resulting in an increase in traffic, media coverage, and, most importantly, a profound increase in overall sales.

Since that dawn of the cryptocurrency era, a new wave of financial adoption has emerged.

Without a doubt, this news is huge for CoinGate and the ShibArmy. Because anyone who owns SHIB, will have wider possibilities to spend it and those who want to own this cute meme-coin, will be able to buy it with a 1% rate.
<h2>What does it mean for Shiba Inu community?</h2>
First, SHIBs integration to the CoinGate services might cheer up the already-hyped Shiba Inu community, because now more than<a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/stores"> 500 CoinGate merchants</a> can accept Shiba Inu payments from their shoppers.
Secondly, Shiba’s integration into our<a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/buy-and-sell"> trading system</a> allows you to buy SHIB with 1% rate.
Lastly, with the Shiba Inu token integrated into our<a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/gift-cards"> gift card store</a>, CoinGate becomes one of the few crypto gift card providers, who allows purchasing everyday-life necessities with this altcoin.
<h2>What is Shiba Inu?</h2>
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is an Ethereum-based altcoin . Fungible tokens like Shiba Inu are ERC-20 tokens, powered by Ethereum, therefore this tokens’ ecosystem supports projects, such as the NFT art incubator and the development of a decentralized exchange called Shibaswap.
<a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://github.com/shytoshikusama/woofwoofpaper/raw/main/SHIBA_INU_WOOF_WOOF.pdf">Shibas’ Inu WoofPaper</a> (a.k.a. White paper) starts with a simple question: What would happen if a cryptocurrency project was 100% run by its community? And we can all witness the answer to this question by following SHIB’s existence.
Shiba Inu is the second most known meme coin and is usually considered as an alternative to<a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/doge-support-much-wow"> Dogecoin</a>. In fact, it is also known as the “Dogecoin killer”.
<h2>What differs between Shiba Inu and Dogecoin?</h2>
Shiba Inu and Dogecoin have been the most popular meme coins of 2021. They both have huge support from the community, which is built around the tokens, and they both gained their popularity from the hyped-up social media posts. Oh, also, they’re the same breed of dog.
The difference lies in the supply amount. Dogecoin boosts its supply by incentivizing its miners with 10,000 Dogecoins every minute. Shiba has a maximum supply of quadrillion tokens. About 41% of Shiba Inu’s total supply was burned by Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum.
<h3>To the moon</h3>
