💵 Cryptocurrency payments are accepted the most by the travel industry, adoption study shows

Of the top 10 crypto-friendly industries, travel is number one, with 11.5% of companies in that sector accepting digital assets. The travel sector has been "quick to recognize" the growing demand for crypto-payment availability, with Expedia leading the way.

Meanwhile, fast-food chains including Burger King, as well as institutions of higher education, and sports teams are among other large companies and entities acting as early adopters of cryptocurrencies. McDonald's is reportedly working on it in El Salvador – the first country to adopt bitcoin as legal tender – and fast food chicken chain KFC has been experimenting in Canada.

In US professional sports, the Dallas Mavericks, Miami Dolphins, San Jose Earthquakes in soccer, and the San Jose Sharks in hockey include crypto as payment options.
