As part of a regular monthly survey, Bitcoinbch.com's latest Cryptocurrency Expenditure at Retail Businesses report highlights the importance of merchant adoption for all cryptocurrencies that want to become a global electronic cash system. This study investigates the consumption of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and other major cryptocurrencies at physical merchants in Australia.

BCH accounts for more than $ 71,500 in total monthly expenses.

Relevant information on BCH spending is collected from users of the Hula platform . The Hockings Underwriting Logistics app facilitates the instant conversion of Bitcoin Cash to local fiat currencies , protecting businesses from price fluctuations .

This approach allows the portal to more accurately describe its turnover, which is usually a peer-to-peer nature for BCH. Many retail outlets also use other products that facilitate the storage and payment of Bitcoin Cash , such as the Bitcoin.com wallet and the Bitcoin Cash Register application.
