<h2 style="text-align: justify;">India’s endlessly growing gift card industry</h2>
In India, the gift card market has spread like wildfire over the last couple of years, <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200921005319/en/India-9.34-Billion-Gift-Card-and-Incentive-Card-Markets-2015-2019-2024-with-Covid-19-Update-Q2-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">growing steadily</a> and recording a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.5% between 2015 and 2019. 
The use of electronic gift cards accelerated even more during COVID-19 outbreak as they proved to be a convenient way to give presents on special occasions while social distancing, or even transfer value across regions without using costly traditional payment channels like banks or money transfer services. 
Looking forward to 2024, India’s market for electronic vouchers is estimated to reach 9.34 billion USD in value by then, compared to 3,44 billion USD in 2019 due to their steadily rising popularity and increasing overall adoption in daily lives.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Indian e-gift cards for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether &amp; more </h2>
And now, CoinGate is adding fuel to this wildfire by enabling the inventory of more than 140 different e-gift cards for crypto-friendly shoppers from India to obtain using their cryptocurrency portfolios.

Our team is excited to provide India with an opportunity to put their crypto-assets to fair use, knowing that the country <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://thewire.in/tech/will-2021-be-the-year-when-india-finally-clarifies-laws-around-cryptocurrencies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is still in limbo</a> about the status of cryptocurrencies which makes them harder to use. 
Now, after almost a year since its Supreme Court <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://thewire.in/law/supreme-court-strikes-down-rbi-banking-ban-on-cryptocurrency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">struck down RBI banking ban on crypto</a>, Indian traders and exchange operators have new hope for sensible action from the government.
Even though Indian crypto users are struggling to find common ground with traditional payment instruments, we are happy to relieve some pain by providing an easy way to realize cryptocurrency value through gift cards.
As of now, you can use ten payment currencies to buy Indian vouchers or e-gift cards on CoinGate, regardless of the country of residence: that’s Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Nano (NANO), TRON (TRX), Dai (DAI), Tether (USDT), BitTorrent (BTT) and Travala.com (AVA).
Happy spending and hopefully you’ll enjoy our service!
We’ll add more gift cards in the future. Don’t want to miss it? Subscribe to our blog below or follow us on <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://twitter.com/CoinGatecom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a>.

New year, new goals! CoinGate team has a grand plan for 2021. It’s the year to introduce several new and fresh ideas that will lay the grounds for the company’s long-term vision. 
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4675" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main.jpg" alt="coingate shares plans for 2021" width="2500" height="1307" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main.jpg 2500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-150x78.jpg 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-300x157.jpg 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-768x402.jpg 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-1920x1004.jpg 1920w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-1680x878.jpg 1680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-1240x648.jpg 1240w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-860x450.jpg 860w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-680x356.jpg 680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-500x261.jpg 500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-400x209.jpg 400w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-200x105.jpg 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/04c54d12-plans_for_2021_main-50x26.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px" />
Although <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/2020-review">we did a lot in 2020</a>, the most exciting and impactful updates are yet to be announced,  starting with the shopper’s account, first baby steps to the United States market, building new exciting features, and much more. 
But let’s start from the beginning with the update that we’re going to present first, which is an option to sign into CoinGate as a shopper. 

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Shopper’s account</h2>
With the introduction of a shopper’s account, users will be able to create a shopping account or sign in to CoinGate using the OAuth option (via Gmail or Facebook). 
While it is always going to be optional, signing in to CoinGate before making a purchase will allow users to:
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">See the purchase history;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Track invoice status;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Request refunds;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Get special cashback offers;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Lift the service fee.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
It’s important to note that the shopper’s account updates will roll out in several stages spread out throughout the year. 
It means that the initial functionality will be limited to those listed above but will expand once we introduce updates to our core infrastructure. 
Do you think we can do better than that? Share your ideas for a shopper account on our <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://twitter.com/CoinGatecom">Twitter</a>, and we might consider implementing them as we go forward! Alternatively, sign in to your CoinGate account and click the “Suggest a feature” button in the menu bar. Thanks!
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Core infrastructure upgrade </h2>
Speaking of infrastructure, we are about to deploy a big update to our core system, which will allow us to fulfill long-term ideas for building more sophisticated payment and trading tools. 
The first batch of new features introduced in Q2/Q3 will bring many positive changes, especially for merchants. 
For example, until now, business accounts collected cryptocurrency payments via our tools and received weekly payouts to a preferred destination, which is either a bank account or crypto wallet addresses. 
Once these new features are introduced, it will change: merchants will become much more flexible in terms of different actions they can perform, allowing to manage funds in ways that were not possible before.
These actions include:
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li aria-level="1">Requesting partial withdrawals to several destinations on a dedicated API; </li>
<li aria-level="1">Issuing and managing refunds in crypto via API or dashboard;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Batching payments, etc.</li>
</ul>
Our traders will also get to enjoy new capabilities. In later stages of development, CoinGate team also has plans to integrate native Euro balances and allow using IBAN accounts for trading without leaving CoinGate. But that is a topic for another day.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Onboarding merchants from the US</h2>
Another major development we’re working on has been on our team’s agenda for a long time. At last, it’s finally coming to fruition – our payment processing services will soon become available in the United States!
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4676" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple.jpg" alt="coingate introduces payment processing in the USA" width="5000" height="2613" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple.jpg 5000w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-150x78.jpg 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-300x157.jpg 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-768x401.jpg 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-1920x1003.jpg 1920w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-1680x878.jpg 1680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-1240x648.jpg 1240w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-860x449.jpg 860w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-680x355.jpg 680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-500x261.jpg 500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-400x209.jpg 400w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-200x105.jpg 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2021/01/b6062bd3-us_map_simple-50x26.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 5000px) 100vw, 5000px" />
No rush, though. We will enter slowly, starting in a few crypto-friendlier states first until we cover most (if not all) of the US. 
Can you guess in what state we will begin our quest? Stay tuned for a major announcement which is planned for sometime in Q2.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Revamping the trading options</h2>
As you may know, we provide several ways to <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/how-to-buy-bitcoin-litecoin-xrp-on-coingate">buy</a> cryptocurrencies, including bank transfers, credit card purchases and mobile payments, or <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/how-to-sell-bitcoin-crypto-coingate">sell</a> them directly to us. 
This year, our goal is to polish the user experience, simplify every step of the way and present even more convenient options to get your hands on crypto. 
First steps towards it are already accomplished and will soon be deployed to production.

By partnering with large banking networks, the ultimate aim is to provide a seamless trading experience between your bank account and personal crypto wallet. 
Right now, it is still too early to share more explicit details about how it will all come together. However, the trader options revamp is set to go live before the start of Q3.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Automated trader verification</h2>
One thing that everyone has a problem with is burdensome KYC procedures. Our team has made a promise to simplify these procedures to the point where the verification process for traders does not take longer than 1 hour to perform from start to finish.
As for merchants, verification will remain a bit more intense than what traders have to go through, but we will make various adjustments to make it less tedious as time goes by.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Even more gift cards!</h2>
Hard to miss it, but last year, we stepped up our game and launched a <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/gift-cards/all">gift card store</a>. Today, it has 350 gift cards, all available to buy with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/supported-currencies">and other cryptocurrencies</a>. 
Our goal is to raise that number to 1,000 by the end of 2021, starting with almost 140 new options for Indian users.  
All new gift vouchers will be introduced gradually, as will the improvements to the store website. 
Be the first to hear about new gift card releases and other announcements on our official <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://twitter.com/CoinGatecom">Twitter</a> account!
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">A small part of a bigger picture</h3>

CoinGate 2021: Upgrading the core system & entering the US market!

Even though 2020 was a hectic year when lots of our team members have been working from home most of the time, we can’t say it wasn’t a productive one. 
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4663" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main.jpg" alt="coingate 2020 review" width="2500" height="1307" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main.jpg 2500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-150x78.jpg 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-300x157.jpg 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-768x402.jpg 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-1920x1004.jpg 1920w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-1680x878.jpg 1680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-1240x648.jpg 1240w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-860x450.jpg 860w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-680x356.jpg 680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-500x261.jpg 500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-400x209.jpg 400w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-200x105.jpg 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/583cddfd-blog_main-50x26.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px" />
Sure, it was not easy for our team to make these changes at first, but as the time went by, we have managed to adapt to the situation and get comfortable working from pretty much anywhere, anytime. 
As for most companies, applications like Zoom became an irreplaceable and inseparable part of everyday life. Nonetheless, our team’s working pace remained steady, and the year 2020 turned out to be one of the most productive ones in recent memory.
In fact, 2020 was the year when we got our 1,000,000th merchant order paid with cryptocurrencies, whereas at the time of writing the number already sits at 1,090,000!
But these are just numbers. We have many other proud milestones to share today, so, listed from oldest to newest, here are the most notable achievements by our team in 2020.
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4664" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1.jpg" alt="coingate 2020 timelime" width="2500" height="1307" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1.jpg 2500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-150x78.jpg 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-300x157.jpg 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-768x402.jpg 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-1920x1004.jpg 1920w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-1680x878.jpg 1680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-1240x648.jpg 1240w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-860x450.jpg 860w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-680x356.jpg 680w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-500x261.jpg 500w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-400x209.jpg 400w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-200x105.jpg 200w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2020/12/9e2b98db-timeline-1-50x26.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px" />
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Expansion of credit card payment option</h2>
One of the first things we did in 2020 was expanding currency options for a credit card payment method. And just about a month ago, we did it once again. 
Currently, there are 51 fiat options that can be used to buy any of 28 available cryptocurrencies. If it’s something that you would be interested in, check it out <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://buy.coingate.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">New website</h2>
Later in March, after long preparations, we were ready to present a new design of our website. Although it was just a first step towards adding new things to it, it was a proud moment for everyone in the team. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Merchant directory</h2>
Following the launch of a new website, we soon introduced our own <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/merchant-directory-info" target="_blank" rel="noopener">merchant directory</a> – a place where our merchants can showcase their products and services to people looking to spend their cryptocurrencies. 
There are over 150 shops listed there right now. Be sure to check out what we have to offer there. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Binance chain and AVA support</h2>
While we were developing new product features in the background, we have also integrated the Binance chain onto our system in May, which makes the implementation of BEP2 assets on our payment gateway much easier. 
The very first BEP2 asset that was introduced as a payment currency on CoinGate was <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/travala-token-ava-binance-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Travala.com Token (AVA)</a>. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">The simplified verification process for our users</h2>
Back in June, we have made some changes to our verification process for both traders and merchants. 
As a result, users who want to <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/simplified-kyc-for-traders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">use our trading platform</a> for purchases or sales below €1000 only need to provide their ID.
As for merchants, they got an option to create a trial account and start processing crypto payments for 30 days with a limitation of €1000 in turnover. The only document required to start is an ID.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Gift card store</h2>
One of the biggest milestones was the grand opening of our <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/gift-cards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gift Card store</a> in July. Since then, more than 350 gift cards have become available, which include brands like Amazon, eBay, Google Play, Blizzard and many more.
All gift cards on CoinGate are available to purchase with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, XRP, Bitcoin Cash, Nano, Dai, BitTorrent Token (BTT) and Travala.com Token (AVA). 
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Revamped referral program</h2>
In September, our team enabled a new referral program, which allows earning rewards in Euros, Bitcoin and USDT from several sources. It’s a great way to create some side income if you have many people asking you questions about cryptocurrencies. Just point them to us!
You can learn all about CoinGate referrals from our <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/referral-program-info" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official announcement</a>. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">One-time and recurring billing option</h2>
Just a few months back in October, our team launched a new tool for merchants to collect cryptocurrency payments – billing. This new option allows creating reusable invoices and sending them via CoinGate emailing service.
These bills can also be automated with an added schedule, making it a great way to enable subscription payments for your customers that prefer to pay with crypto.
Learn more about <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/instant-billing-guide-for-crypto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one-time</a> or <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/recurring-billing-guide-for-crypto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recurring billing</a> options.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Sofort (Klarna) payment method</h2>
The last thing we did before the New Years was enabling <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/sofort-klarna-buy-crypto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one more payment option</a> for users buying crypto on CoinGate – Sofort (Klarna). Now, users from seven European countries can use their Sofort account to purchase crypto directly to a provided wallet address. Pretty cool. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">What’s for 2021, then?</h2>
Tune in next week when we reveal some of our plans and bigger aspirations for 2021.
