CoinGate today released Bitcoin Payments: Eleven-Year Data Overview (2014-2025), a longitudinal analysis of retail crypto payments on its platform. The study shows that Bitcoin (BTC) has generated 44% of all transactions processed on CoinGate since 2014. From 2025 to date, Bitcoin has again been the most used currency at 22.7% of orders, followed by USDT (19.8%), LTC (14.0%), and USDC (11.5%).

This pattern is consistent with CoinGate’s regional trends analysis for 2025, which found the U.S. increasing its lead while Europe shows mixed preferences by country, and stablecoins remain more prominent across parts of Asia and Nigeria (Insights: Crypto Payments Around the World in 2025). Average order values indicate diverse use cases: the average BTC cart is €132 in 2025, above the platform average, with transactions ranging from micro-purchases to high-value services.

“The data highlights Bitcoin’s role as a durable payment rail for online commerce,” said Vilius Sem?nas, CEO at CoinGate. “Despite shifts in market trends and regulation, Bitcoin has consistently been the most recognized and widely used crypto-asset at checkout for more than a decade.”
Methodology
The report analyzes CoinGate’s internal, aggregated payment data from 2014 through September 2025. Definitions include: processed orders (completed BTC payments), payment share (BTC’s percentage of total crypto payments), average cart size (euro value at the moment of payment), settlements (post-payment handling), payouts (SEND transactions from merchant balances), and Lightning payments (BTC orders via the Lightning Network since 2018). Minor variations may occur due to rounding and exchange rates. For more on CoinGate’s payments infrastructure, visit CoinGate.
