Real-World Crypto Adoption Needs Payment Infrastructure, Not Just Talk

The crypto industry talks endlessly about real-world adoption, but few projects are actually building the payment infrastructure needed to make it happen.​

• Most focus remains on speculation rather than practical payment solutions
• Building reliable payment rails requires significant technical and regulatory work
• The gap between adoption rhetoric and infrastructure reality continues to widen

The challenge: moving from crypto-to-crypto transactions to seamless real-world payment experiences that compete with traditional systems.​
