CryptoProcessing, the crypto payment gateway operated by CoinsPaid, has released a case study saying Estonia-based proprietary trading firm PropShopTrader saw around 7% of clients start funding accounts with cryptocurrency after the integration. The company also reported an average transaction cost reduction of about 3% and an overall revenue increase of roughly 5%.
The case centers on payments, not trading performance. PropShopTrader evaluates traders and provides funding to users worldwide, and before the rollout it relied only on card payments. That model was familiar, but it also carried higher processing fees, exposure to chargebacks, and limited flexibility for an international user base already comfortable with digital assets.
More than 20 cryptocurrencies supported with auto-conversion options
After integrating CryptoProcessing, PropShopTrader enabled payments in more than 20 cryptocurrencies. Incoming funds can be automatically converted into USDC or fiat, allowing the business to keep the settlement advantages of blockchain payments while reducing direct exposure to market volatility. For merchants that need predictable treasury handling, that setup matters.
Compliance was another requirement. Because PropShopTrader operates under the EU regulatory framework, it needed AML monitoring, transaction screening, and transparent reporting built into the payment flow. According to the case study, CryptoProcessing provides those controls, letting the company broaden payment options without taking on extra regulatory or operational strain.
Merchant adoption is rising as customers ask for crypto checkout
The article also cites a joint survey by PayPal and the National Cryptocurrency Association. It says nearly 40% of merchants already accept crypto payments, while 84% expect crypto to become a common payment method within five years. Demand is not coming only from businesses: 88% of merchants said users had asked whether they could pay with crypto.
Industry research referenced in the piece estimates that tens of thousands of online merchants now support crypto payments, with stablecoins taking a central position because of lower volatility and faster settlement. In that context, the PropShopTrader example is presented as a measurable business case. Even without universal adoption, partial usage of crypto payments can still change checkout conversion, lower payment costs, and widen access for global customers.
The source also states that the material is for educational purposes and does not constitute investment advice. It adds that as stablecoins become more embedded in mainstream payment flows, including support through platforms such as Apple Pay, the gap between traditional payments and crypto-based payments is narrowing.
