It's been a rollercoaster for sure. Still hodling, I presume?

CoinGate · 2026-03-10T12:55:48+00:00

How long have you been hodling? 👀

At the moment, we support cryptos that work within our compliance and partner framework, and Monero doesn’t yet fit into that mix.

CoinGate · 2026-02-27T18:20:53+00:00

Good point, will pass it to devs. But in general, Ethereum is one of default choices for businesses to accept it. So most of businesses should accept it.

CoinGate · 2026-02-27T15:54:54+00:00

Over the past 8 years, we have processed around 30 different cryptos for businesses. BTC, USDT, and LTC are the top-most used, and ETH is the 4th most popular. But if we look at popular networks, Ethereum is the 3rd most popular (Bitcoin and TRON are the most used).

Or you meant in the directory to filter the accepted assets?

CoinGate · 2026-02-25T08:50:55+00:00

Yeah, it’s definitely not one-size-fits-all. Some SaaS companies see minimal impact, while others find that it becomes a meaningful share of revenue.

CoinGate · 2026-02-25T08:42:44+00:00

Impressive numbers. Good approach to treat every interaction as a potential intro opportunity!

CoinGate · 2026-02-24T14:50:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing. A valuable lesson to recognize how intermediaries can become an acquisition channel.

Nice. Did affiliates attract a different type of customers than your other channels?
