23% of companies in the US and Canada want to adopt cryptocurrencies

A Deloitte survey reveals that 23% of major financial firms in North America plan to use cryptocurrencies within two years. Nearly 40% of billion-dollar giants support stablecoins despite regulatory and volatility concerns.

Deloitte: Crypto Adoption Gaining Ground Among Finance Leaders

A new survey by Deloitte shows that 23% of financial companies in the U.S. and Canada with over $1 billion in revenue plan to start using cryptocurrencies for payments or investments within two years. Among firms with revenues above $10 billion, the figure reaches nearly 40%.

However, most finance executives remain cautious. While 99% of directors at major firms are interested in crypto for the long term, only 1% claim their companies have no interest in future crypto adoption.

Volatility, Accounting, and Regulation Raise Concerns

Crypto’s price swings remain a major barrier — cited by 43% of respondents. Meanwhile, 42% pointed to accounting challenges, and 40% highlighted uncertainty around future regulations.

Despite these issues, interest in specific crypto assets is growing. Stablecoins are becoming especially attractive. Around 15% of respondents say they may accept stablecoins within two years, rising to 24% among the largest firms.

Stablecoins and Blockchain Gain Momentum

For 45% of surveyed executives, privacy is the key advantage of stablecoins. Another 39% expect them to speed up and lower the cost of global payments.

Blockchain is also gaining traction, with over half of respondents ready to deploy it for managing supply chains involving multiple third parties. Blockchain’s transparency and immutability, they noted, help improve transaction traceability and trust.
