I work in the industry, and will tell you that a big reason it’s not widely available as an APM (alternative payment method) is because CFOs are 1.) instinctively scared of it 2.) worry about volatility, even there are solutions that allow you to accept crypto but be settled in fiat 3.) worry about ESG blowback.

ETFs and other things will change that, but it will take time.

Cryptocurrency payments are by far the cheapest and fastest way to settle currency, and have no fraud or chargeback risk.

Merchants are EXTREMELY slow to adopt anything new, simply out of principle.

If the transaction is to be ultimately settled with Fiat....why not just start with Fiat instead of adding an additional level of complexity?

The purchaser just transition their crypto to fiat then make the purchase?
