CoinGate has secured a tremendous partnership with <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff9900;" href="https://bitcoinvault.global/">Bitcoin Vault</a>, integrating its native coin – BTCV! 
 
Bitcoin Vault is the world’s first cryptocurrency to roll out an ecosystem of tools and services allowing users to send secure payments, as well as bypass the safety features and send Fast Secure transactions. 
Bitcoin Vault (BTCV) has the 3-Key Security Solution that allows users to reverse transactions within 24 hours (144 blocks). If your local wallet’s security is compromised, you can cancel the fraudulent money transfer and protect your assets. The developers behind Bitcoin Vault are a dedicated team of professionals who strive to create the most secure cryptocurrency on the planet.
This partnership is good news for thousands of CoinGate merchants as they welcome a new wave of potential customers from yet another cutting-edge crypto project. 
 
Also, this will be beneficial for both CoinGate and Bitcoin Vault  users as well, as now they can buy and sell BTCV on CoinGate. 
Commenting on this partnership, CoinGate’s Chief Operating Officer Justas Paulius stated: “We are always happy to see when people are focused on innovation and push the technological frontier by leveraging current technologies. The team that stands behind Bitcoin Vault is a perfect example, they have taken Bitcoins’ technology and built something uncanny – reversible blockchain transactions. This is an unorthodox functionality for a blockchain based currency, however, BTCV technology offers both immutability and security for each user. 

Meanwhile Radek Popiel, Chief Communications Officer of BTCV commented about the partnership with CoinGate: 
 
 We have been searching for an ecosystem expansion partner for quite some time, and we finally found a good solution – Coingate – with their big community (nearly 250k registered users) they can help us achieve high liquidity and increased awareness of our project. With the variety of products it’s a perfect solution to expand our ecosystem. The cooperation and implementation process went through without any problems. We were really satisfied by the professionalism of their team.
In a nutshell, Bitcoin Vault’s integration with CoinGate means that:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">BTCV token is now a payment currency by default on all online and brick &amp; mortar stores that employ CoinGate merchant services;</li>
</ul>
<ul>

</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Merchants can settle other accepted cryptocurrencies to BTCV

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.

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.

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.

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.

The whole crypto industry is booming, and we’re adding fuel to the fire! With more than <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/911914/number-apple-pay-users/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">500 million Apple Pay users</a> worldwide and <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/236550/percentage-of-us-population-that-own-a-iphone-smartphone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">45%</a> of the US citizens owning an iPhone, the ability to buy 36 cryptocurrencies and tokens to any wallet with an already familiar app will surely prove useful and exciting to many. 
<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. 
 
And now, you can even buy Bitcoin.
