News | Industry Updates A glimpse into the future of crypto payments


Emerging technology research company D- Core released its latest analysis reviewing the future of the cryptocurrency landscape. D-Core's report surveyed 161 experts,


asking them: "Which crypto payment processor will definitely be operating in five years time?" Of those surveyed, 37% picked CoinPayments, giving it the top spot. The other crypto payment processors included in the report were Bitpay (29%), BTCpay (19%), SpicePay (13%), CoinGate (1%), among others. "It is great to be recognised as a top crypto payment processor among


experts in the industry," noted Jason Butcher, chief executive of CoinPayments. "Since 2013, our aim has always been to fuel crypto adoption and the most effective way to give digital assets their rightful place as mediums of exchange is by enabling businesses and consumers to use them for everyday purchases." The report's timely release comes as


notable companies like Paypal and Tesla announce that they will be facilitating crypto payments for customers. Crypto adoption is steadily on the rise as more businesses come to understand the


benefits that come with accepting crypto payments. "D-Core's focus is on providing unique


information and insights into emerging technology companies and projects in blockchain, decentralised finance, and payments," noted D-Core founder Kevin Mudd. "As more people look for information on crypto and payments, we aim to help to uncover tomorrow's disruptors in the space to help institutional investors, family offices, hedge funds, and main street investors make wiser investment decisions."

This year, Liquibox, the liquid packaging and dispensing specialist, celebrated World Earth Day by releasing its first Sustainability Report. With it, the company is publicly stating its


mission to inspire change in packaging preference and create a safer and more sustainable future. The report details Liquibox’s roadmap to supporting customer sustainability goals while also minimising the company’s environmental footprint. “We are excited to partner with our

Liquibox will focus on key areas of its business—from products that are designed for the planet, to operations with less impact to close collaboration and engagement with local communities. “Our steadfast commitment to sustainability


is evident across Liquibox. We view it as an opportunity – and responsibility to our society – to provide sustainable solutions for essential liquids,” says Alexis Swanson, global sustainability and communications manager. Liquibox has already made progress on


several strategic initiatives, putting them well on their way to reach their 2025 sustainability


goals. Highlights from 2020 include: • The acquisition of DS Smith Plastics which


expanded its portfolio and enabled an optimised global footprint • The launch of Liquipure — the nylon-free,


recycle-ready bag-in-box packaging • Established workstreams within leading


sustainability organisations • Ongoing community support that


continued during the COVID-19 pandemic “This is an exciting time in our sustainability


journey,” said Mr Swanson. “We are uniquely positioned to deliver on our ambitious commitments to better protect the environment while delighting our customers and growing our business.”
