Did You Know? BitPay Assumes Crypto Price Volatility
Given the current state of crypto, BitPay Merchants have no reason to worry about the crypto price volatility or risk when they partner with BitPay. This is because BitPay assumes crypto price volatility for merchants. When a customer of a BitPay Merchant pays with bitcoin or another cryptocurrency supported by BitPay, the transaction is settled in US Dollars or another fiat currency minus our fee, and BitPay assumes the volatility of the crypto.
For example, if Crypto is at $30,000 and then drops down to $25,000, BitPay merchants still get the US dollar equivalent minus our fee. This is why merchants prefer to partner with us.
Want to accept cyrpto without fear of price volatility? Get in touch with a BitPay representative today.
