Mercuryo, a global payments infrastructure provider, reported that simplifying its crypto purchase process led to a 75% rise in conversion rates year-on-year in the first half of 2026. This improvement, from 12% in the previous half-year to 21% this year, represents a significant increase of nine percentage points. The company's internal data indicates that reducing the number of steps in their crypto on-ramp process, clarifying navigation, and adapting payment options for various devices and markets contributed to this boost.
