Ordering a pizza is simple, fast and affordable. If money worked more like pizza…
It wouldn’t cost you money to access your own money.
International wire transfers wouldn’t cost up to $50.
3% fees wouldn’t be charged to the merchant every time you swipe your credit card.
ACH payments wouldn’t take up to 5 business days to settle in your account.
And you’d certainly never have to mail a check.
Crypto is making cheaper, faster transactions possible every day.
In 2022, Americans could have saved $74 billion in transaction fees using crypto. This is about $600 per household – no small amount when a majority of Americans can't afford a $500 emergency.
Merchants spent more than $126B on fees to process credit card transactions alone — a number that could be reduced to almost zero by using blockchain technology.
And as a fully digital currency, crypto payments can process at least 24x faster than in traditional financial methods. That’s even faster than pizza.
