Spain ranks among world leaders in crypto payments

  • —Spain stands out globally for crypto payment usage, but no specific figures were provided
  • —Bizum habits, tourism and exchange cards converting crypto to euros drive adoption
  • —Stablecoins and remittances from Spain's Latin American community are a separate driver
  • —Under MiCA, Spain's CNMV is the authority licensing crypto service providers
